| Abstract: | Much of the work on stereotypes has focused on discrimination for women and minorities in the workplace. Stereotypes , however, can also exist among managers , potentially influencing their judgement when undertaking business deals with counterparts from other countries. Paul Burns, Andrew Myers and Andrew Kakabadse present results from a survey that was carried out by the 3i/Cranfield European Enterprise Centre at Cranfield. Over 1,000 managers from SMEs in France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom and Spain responded to the survey. The survey highlights a number of differing perceptions that managers have of managers from other nations. For example British managers rate themselves highly on competence, whereas other European managers, notably from Italy and Spain, do not rate them as high. Such perceptions could lead to discrimination. |
