ABSTRACT

Chapter 11 approaches the question of whether differences in cross-national management and organization practices are likely to disappear or persist in the future. The chapter concentrates on developments in human resource management, employment relations, and corporate governance in the two major capitalist models: The Anglo-American and the Rhineland models. We concentrate on these two since, to a greater or lesser extent, the models of most countries – including countries in transition – tend to be variants of these two main models.
