Why, when, where and how to internationalise are core questions for leaders, managers and their organisations today. This book provides a unique overview of the true essence of international management. As opposed to a conventional product-related country-oriented approach to the international business area, this book intends to follow modern trends in international management with a greater focus on internationalisation of firm’s earnings and costs. The total economic result of international business transactions in the firm takes account of all cross-border inflow and outflow of cash. Modern firms participate in industrial value chains that tend to cross national borders intensively. The firm’s value chain activity exercised in a certain country serves as an appropriate unit of analysis in multinational firms' decision-making. The combination of such analytical units as firm, industry with its value chain, country and modes of foreign and cross-border operations is at the heart of the book's structure. Based on decades of delivering award-winning executive education seminars and projects in numerous countries, the authors address key questions in order to perpetuate an organisation’s as well as an individual’s success in international activities. Numerous case studies from a variety of firms, industries and countries help illustrate options and choices.

The United Nations PRME (Principles of Responsible Management Education) initiatives calls for a more balanced understanding of the role of businesses in society.

This book outlines key insights on how to design, direct, and deliver executive education programs - with a stronger focus on integrating f nancial, social, and environmental responsibilities.
Internationalization is a sought-after corporate goal, yet it remains a complex challenge. Performance can wane at different stages of the internationalization journey, influenced by factors such as the country of origin, the chosen pathway, and the skills developed to navigate challenges. A crucial aspect to explore in these journeys is organizational culture, which has intrigued both researchers and practitioners. This study posits that organizational culture is not a fixed entity; rather, it can be shaped and adapted throughout the various stages of internationalization, particularly contrasting German and US companies.

Innovations in Executive Education This book summarizes recent and imminent innovations in executive education. The overview starts with making a crucial distinction between various types of institutions, as not all innovations can be universally applicable in any given context. Critical reviews of innovations relating to the purpose of executive education, subject matters covered, applied methodologies, session flows, and faculty mixes follow. The authors clarify that executive education directors and faculty must be able to manage two operating logics. On one hand they have to be market oriented. On the other they have to drive markets with their innovations. Participants of great executive education are thus both, customers and products, which puts a demanding responsibility on the learning experts involved. The book also contains additional chapters on how to detect and assess the outcomes of unique learning interventions and transformational executive education - both quantitatively and qualitatively. The insights on innovations in executive education are assembled by adopting a global view, which nonetheless demonstrate sensitivity to local differences.
