Factors that determine the form of management in an international environment

The purpose of this paper is to show how leaders can be supported in creating and managing into international teams in a different effective and efficient ways. This paper tries to fill the gap between the more theoretical findings as presented in the literature and a pragmatic approach which can be used for execution by these leaders with the theirs teams. The main findings in the research is that although the leaders have a vast set of factors they require to do their jobs, it seems that the major issue is the different ‘view on the world’ and in more detail the differences between a leader and his team if he or she comes from a different cultural background, according, their emotions, communication, motivators, and knowledge. The paper aims to support people who work in international teams in different roles and locations.
