Differences and similarities in future managerial values: a five cultures comparative study

Highlights the opinion that the importance of national culture in cross-cultural management is diminishing, suggesting that the world is moving towards a single, global management culture that is basically Western and, more specifically, American. Attempts to test this hypothesis by examining values held by future managers from five different cultures. Uses the Kruskal-Wallis One Way ANOVA and the Mann-Whitney tests to show that future managers from different cultural backgrounds will neigher adopt a mirror image of current management style in their cultures nor a global unified management style regardless of local culture.
