正在国际化的公司往往都是通过进入与它们自己国家相似的市场来开始这一进程的,有人用此策略来解释为何澳大利亚企业将它们众多的对外直接投资集中投在英国。《国际商业评论》此前刊登过一篇探讨澳大利亚在英国投资的文章,本文在此基础上进一步地研究了与澳大利亚和英国管理方式之间、未曾料到的差异有关的一些问题。本文研究了这些问题在已知的两国文化差异很小而实际差异更大的情况下对人际关系的影响,而且还考虑了有关国际管理的一些问题。 Internationalized companies tend to start the process by entering markets similar to their own, with the tactic used by some to explain why Australian businesses have concentrated their large foreign direct investment in the UK. The International Business Review has previously published an article examining Australia's investment in the UK. Based on this, the article further explores some of the issues related to the unexpected differences between Australian and British management styles. This article examines the impact these issues have on human relationships with the known small differences between the two countries and their actual differences. It also considers some issues related to international governance.
