Multicultural management imperativeness derives actual results from case studies of Finnish, Philippines, and Thai business ventures.

The Schewind and Peterson management profile, ASEAN Perspectives on Excellence in Leadership, together with the European and Asian joint research for multicultural management assessment assist in the further evaluation of the management survey. The convergences and divergences on management systems are tackled to give an overview of actual management aspects for the Regional business operations.

Recommendations for EU and ASEAN complementation to achieve regional impetus for growth consider the cultural specifics intended for firm development in reference with Finnish, Philippines and Thai management systems. |
