      additional layers of complexity that the 
      changing environment of business brings to 
      their jobs
     Managers must learn to operate within the 
      complex interplay between the various 
      trends in the cultures of the world and the 
      process of globalization
     There are 4 trends that set the stage of 
      cross-cultural management in the future, 
      that are :
    1.The uneven development in the world.
    2.The increased influence of economies in 
      transition
    3.The continued influence of information and 
      communication technology

      environment

     product per capita and the Human

     implications for policy makers.
     The uncertainty in the business environment 
     such as the differences in development from 
     a cross-cultural management perspective 
     has to do with the impact of the labor pool.
     Economic development within nations affects 
     the availability of wage-earning jobs.

     working hours are longer, part-time 
      employment is high and many people work 
      several part-time jobs because of limited 
      full-time employment.
     Few developing countries provide the type 
      of social safety net enjoyed in the 
      industrialized world and workers are subject 
      to a variety of abuses on the job including 
      discrimination.
