No longer just an innocent luxury, by its claim to invisibility music is shown to be implicated in the struggle for control over air as a most precious natural resource. What emerges is a complex political ecology where differentiated musical systems combined, struggled against, and co-constituted one another in the course of the global nineteenth century and beyond"--

International Cultural Differences
Comparative management theory, in an organized form, dates from the early 1960s and its emergence coincided with the early stages of internationalization by US corporations and the issues which that process gave rise to. Concern about understanding differences was given a boost in the 1980s by the onslaught of East Asian competition in world markets and the dynamism of Pacific as a region for investment and economic growth.
