Abstract: | John Storey, the Guest Editor of this special issue, is Senior Lecturer and Director of the Human Resource and Change Management Research Unit at Loughborough University. In this introductory article he reviews the wide span of issues raised by the idea of ‘Making European Managers’ and he places the contributing articles in context. This scene-setting piece organises the literature into two main blocks: first, the analyses of the competencies required by those who manage transnationally, and second, the analyses of the contrasting ways in which managers are made in the different European countries. |
