Routledge Organizational Change and Global Standardization

In an era of rapid globalization, organizations face an epidemic of competing standards and norms. Organizational Change and Global Standardization provides a practical approach to managing this overflow. This book examines how businesses can deal effectively and ethically with the various frameworks that impact international operations. As organizations expand their reach, they must navigate complex requirements across four key areas: accounting and finance, international and world trade, social norms, and safety, quality, and environment standards. Many of these regulations are often in conflict, creating significant hurdles for management. Part of the Routledge Studies in Organizational Change and Development series, this text offers solutions for any type of organization struggling with the pressure of global requirements. It provides a framework for understanding how to live with these standards without letting them overwhelm your business processes or ethical standing.
