m in Russia, England and Germany is formed in different historical conditions. The differences in the culture of work are the most dangerous enemy for collaboration. If a company fails to cooperate with a foreign partner, it's bad for the status of the company, which must compete in the market.

The head is the expert.

The first problem understands the different ways to advancement on a career ladder. It affects quality of a management. If Germany's leaders believe that they earn credibility through their "expert knowledge", the Russian managers rely on personal connections. This is the problem duty performance. I believe that the most effective way to solve this problem is to introduce a common standard of knowledge managers. I insist on the fact that the manager should not only be a good leader, but a good performer.

Relation to innovations.

The second problem is the point that some of the management systems are not able to adapt quickly to new conditions. This is more pronounced in the German system of management. If cooperation is necessary to the company, you should apply to specifics of culture of their partners with respect. You will not be rushed business partners, because that you show that you do not respect their culture.

In the conclusion, I would like to note that there are no hard barriers for collaboration with foreign companies. Middle managers need to know the culture of his business partner and to be able give in. Managers need to be a "cultural chameleon" and mobile experts.

Administrative management is an approach that focuses on principles that can be used by management to coordinate the internal activities of organizations.

For years, managers have considered decision making to be a pure art. It has been considered an art because a variety of individual styles can be used in approaching and successfully solving the same type of managerial problems in actual business practice. These styles are often based on creativity, judgment, intuition, and the experience rather than on the systematic analytical approach.

However, the environment in which management must operate is changing. A man has long since landed on the moon, and technological advancement dictates the pace of our life. Such advances in technology cannot possibly be made without concurrent advances in the systems of management.

Business and its environment are more complex today than ever before, and the trend toward increasing complexity is continuing. So making decisions today is much more complicated than in the past for three reasons. First, the number of alternatives is usually much larger. Second, the consequences of the decisions are more difficult to predict due to increased uncertainty. Finally, the cost of making errors has become larger and larger, mainly due to the size of operations, automation, and a resulting chain - reaction situation in which the impact of an error may be felt on many places due to complex interrelationships.

To illustrate how critical the impact of a single error can be, consider the following example. In the early 80s, the management of Polaroid decided to invest millions of dollars in developing a new camera, SX-70. The justification for the huge investment was the anticipation of large profits from the sale of film for the camera. On July 2, 1985, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged almost 16 points and closed at a low for the year of 790. The major contributor to the fall was the drop in Polaroid, a once highly priced glamour issue that fell ll3/g points, a decline of 32 percent, in a single day! The drop was attributed to an announcement that the sales of SX-70 film were only one third of the company's projections. The plunge reduced the value of Polaroid shares by more than 360 million USD overnight! The impact was so significant that even though Polaroid did not file for the bankruptcy, its earnings declined for several years.

Managers must become more sophisticated - they must learn to utilize new tools and techniques that are being developed in their field. No one can imagine a successful physician using the medicine and equipment of the turn of the century. Yet, in management, one can find executives using management tools of that time.
