National culture and management: messages conveyed by British, French and German advertisements for managerial appointments

Abstract

This paper looks at the relationship between national culture and management through an examination of the messages conveyed by a sample of British, French, and German advertisements for management positions. The results from the study show that there are clear differences in management philosophy and practice, as perceived from the literature and the messages conveyed by a sample of advertisements in the UK, France and Germany.
