Arthur Elliott Carlisle
Volume : 25-2 (1970)
Abstract
The author discusses on the criteria to follow in choosing a style of leadership which is to be applied to foreign operations. In a country which is colonial in tradition, the authoritarian job-centered approach may be preferable. On the long run nonetheless, an organization wishing to be accepted in a foreign country can benefit enormously by using a democratic people-centered style in managerial decision making.
