Management in France

The main aim of this book is to provide an analysis of the nature of management in France, placing it in the social and cultural context of the country and looking at the position of French managers along with their education and career development. The formal nature of work relations and the rituals of French business life are examined and the authors look at perceptions of the changes that 1992 may bring. The corporate culture of four leading companies are looked at and throughout the book, recent research and interviews are used to provide practical insights into French management, comparing with management styles in other countries such as the UK.
