| Abstract: | Managers share some views about the European managerial identity: an orientation towards people, the importance of negotiation, handling diversity and managing between extremes (Calori and de Woot, 1994). However, top managers' perceptions of management in Europe also deviate from the average picture, depending on the country they originate from. This paper is based on the content analysis of unstructured interviews with 24 top managers (British , US, French, German and Japanese). Concerning management in Europe, insiders' perceptions tend to be more positive and biased by the respective national heritages (British,French German), outsiders' perceptions tend to be less positive and biased by the respective national heritages (US and Japan). The findings suggest that the representations of management philosophies and practices are socially constructed. |
