Tiivistelmä: | France's recent successes make it more important than ever to understand what makes its managers tick. This year France surpassed Japan and the UK in acquisitions of USA companies, and many French companies are world leaders. The French system stands as a coherent whole: its clear logic and rules provide unambigious signals that shape managerial action. Thus French industry has a focus and sense of purpose that the rest of the world should not underestimate as a key to economic performance. In France, management is a "state of mind" rather than an interpersonally demanding exercise. It is managers' cleverness, not skills, that distinguishes them. These managers are molded through an elaborate education and induction into the elite. |
