    Trends and Challenges of Management in Global Scenario

    The management functions are planning and decision making. Organizing, leading, and
    controlling are just as relevant to international managers as to domestic managers. International
    managers need to have a clear view of where they want their firm to be in the future; they have
    to organize to implement their plans: they have to motivate those who work lot them; and they
    have to develop appropriate control mechanisms.

    1 Planning and Decision Making


    Planning and Decision Making in a Global Scenario To effectively plan and make
    decisions in a global economy, managers must have a broad based understanding of
    both environmental issues and competitive issues. They need to understand local market
    conditions and technological factor that will affect their operations. At the corporate
    level, executives need a great deal of information to function effectively. Which markets
    are growing? Which markets are shrinking? Which are our domestic and foreign
    competitors doing in each market? They must also make a variety of strategic decisions
    about their organizations.

    2 Organizing
    Organizing in a Global Scenario Managers in international businesses must also
    attend to a variety of organizing issues. For example, General Electric has operations
    scattered around the globe. The firm has made the decision to give local managers a
    great deal of responsibility for how they run their business. In contrast, many Japanese
    firms give managers of their foreign operations relatively little responsibility. As a
    result, those managers must frequently travel back to Japan to present problems or get
    decisions approved. Managers in an international business must address the basic issues
    of organization structure and design, managing change, and dealing with human
    resources.

    3 Leading
    Leading in a Global Scenario We noted earlier some of the cultural factors that affect
    international organizations. Individual managers must be prepared to deal with these
    and other factors as they interact people from different cultural backgrounds
    .Supervising a group of five managers, each of whom is from a different state in the
    United States, is likely to be much simpler than supervising a group of five managers,
    each of whom is from a different culture. Managers must understand how cultural
    factors affect individuals. How motivational processes vary across cultures, how the
    role of leadership changes in different cultures, how communication varies across
    cultures, and how interpersonal and group processes depend on cultural background.

    4 Controlling
    Controlling in a Global Scenario Finally, managers in international organizations must
    also be concerned with control. Distances, time zone differences, and cultural factors
    also play a role in control. For example, in some cultures, close supervision is seen as
    being appropriate, whereas in other cultures, it is not like wise, executives in the United
    States and Japan may find it difficult to communicate vital information to one another
    because of the time zone differences. Basic control issues for the international manager
    revolve around operations management productivity, quality, technology and
    information systems.
