Team members from some nations had no comparitive cultutal concept. It turns out that common sense is quite rare, and quite a Western belief.<BR/><BR/>In this environment the managment techniques of goals setting, enpowerment and teamwork were fairly ineffective becasue of the cultural context.Graeme Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05466682883239378513noreply@blogger.com
