Managing in Britain and Germany compares British and German
managers' behaviour and views of their work, and seeks to explain
the differences. Based on a two year comparative study by British
and German research teams, the book challenges the universal view
of management presented in so many management books, by showing how
differently German middle managers think and act. These differences
are then unravelled and traced back to their various roots: ranging
from the particular (nature of the job, product or organisation) to
the general (the society's institutions and values). Written by
leading management experts from Britain and Germany, the book
provides useful lessons and insights for practising managers and
for those studying management everywhere.

Communication is nowadays more and more frequently considered an
essential parameter in the construction, maintenance and change of
organizations. This has resulted in a growing importance of
qualitative conceptualizations in organization theory and of
perspectives on organizational communication in sociolinguistics.
Nevertheless, overlaps in the research between the qualitative
branch of organization theory and the sociolinguistic research of
businesses have been to date very sparse. Difficulties in tying
both academic perspectives together seem to be related to the lack
of theoretical assumptions which could bridge the gap between
linguistics and organization theory, for example, as far as the
construction of macrostructural models out of the analyses of
interactive behavior is concerned. This collection develops
suggestions on how to set starting points for an interdisciplinary
research program.
