Management Control Systems and Cross-Cultural Research
A fundamental challenge that management faces in the twenty-first century is how to exercise adequate control, i. e. how to guide and direct the behaviour of their subordinates. With increasing globalisation firms witness a cross-cultural impact too. Of particular interest is the question of whether to use the standardized form of control similar to the home base of firms or whether to adapt their control practices to the local specificities. Given the meagre state of the literature in management control with a cross-cultural emphasis, this study addresses a real world problem, namely the question whether management control practices are configured similarly or differently across cultures.

The Foreign Office Mind
With this pioneering approach to the study of international history, T. G. Otte reconstructs the underlying principles, élite perceptions and 'unspoken assumptions' that shaped British foreign policy between the death of Palmerston and the outbreak of the First World War. Grounded in a wide range of public and private archival sources, and drawing on sociological insights, The Foreign Office Mind presents a comprehensive analysis of the foreign service as a 'knowledge-based organization', rooted in the social and educational background of the diplomatic élite and the broader political, social and cultural fabric of Victorian and Edwardian Britain. The book charts how the collective mindset of successive generations of professional diplomats evolved, and reacted to and shaped changes in international relations during the second half of the nineteenth century, including the balance of power and arms races, the origins of appeasement and the causes of the First World War.
Adrien Pouliot et le développement de la radio française dans les Prairies
L'ouvrage porte sur le développement des stations radiophoniques d’expression française dans les provinces canadiennes des Prairies entre 1946 et 1952 . Les objectifs de recherche s’articulent autour de deux approches complémentaires: l’étude de la radio selon une perspective globale permettant de mieux saisir la dynamique qui sous-tend le développement des quatre stations d’expression française dans les Prairies et la mise en évidence de l’appui incontestable de Adrien Pouliot qui a marqué tout un pan de l’histoire de la radio par ses qualités de maître d’œuvre, de diplomate et de rassembleur. Figure emblématique de son temps, celui-ci a joué un rôle prépondéra...
