Managing People Across Cultures maps out the value of people issues in the organizations of today. It challenges us to ask key questions such as ?How did Human Resource Management (HRM) come to be and what genuine need is there for it?? and ?What should the future direction of HRM be?? Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner spell out their vision for what HRM must do to stay relevant to businesses today. Their view is that people management must embrace the values of entrepreneurship i.e. agility, flexibility and innovation to ensure its continued effectiveness. The authors also argue that workplaces have to become customized to grow and learn as its employees push the boundaries of learning and discovery. Functional barriers also need to be torn down.

At the core of a company's ability to learn, improve, and compete is the process by which it resolves dilemmas that appear and reappear in constantly changing forms, e.g. whether to pursue economies of scale or flexibility; whether to target broad or niche markets. In this book, Charles Hampden-Turner describes how managers at Shell International Petroleum Company, Apple Computer, Hanover Insurance, and six other major corporations resolve these recurring dilemmas by employing his renowned mapping scheme. By delineating on a chart, or a series of charts, a manager's inchoate, often metaphorical, forms of cognitive expression, Hampden-Turner shows how solutions, previously unrealized in the recesses of the manager's mind, become readily apparent.
