Today's companies are fast turning to teams for organizing and doing work. Yet, many managers have found teams prone to problems that make them ineffective. But fad or not, teams are here to stay - and when they do work, companies and managers benefit enormously. In this much acclaimed book (winner of the Financial Times Global and Business Books Award) - now updated and revised - the authors identify the obstacles that prevent teams from achieving their potential. They provide practical methods and tools to enable team members and managers to make the promising of teams - greater effiency, flexibility and productivity - come true.

This is a comprehensive, up-to-date compendium of key readings on international business theory and practice. Selected for the new Open University course on "International Enterprise", the collection includes some of the most influential articles to have appeared on the subject, drawn from both sides of the Atlantic. The readings are divided into two parts. The first covers the theory and practice of developing international strategies and of human resource management across the world necessary to develop these strategies. The second part of the volume covers different sectors of international enterprise - communications, marketing, production, finance, and business ethics. The volume should serve as a companion text to international business courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
