- Abstract
- Globalisation and recently formalised free-trade agreements have diversified the cultural environment of small business managers. Managers, with international experience and desirable international management competencies, are increasingly sought after, not only by multinational corporations, but also by small businesses, which find themselves competing in the global arena. The management of international human resources requires being effective, globally efficient, locally responsive and capable of transferring learning across the globe (Schuler, Budhwar, and Florkowski, 2002). These management functions have both domestic and international aspects, subsequently requiring different skills and abilities. The intention of this paper is to firstly identify the competencies and interpersonal skills needed by international managers (Adler, 1991). Then, the research objective is then to define and establish these elements, beyone that of the domestic managers, into factors constituting a single theoretical construct, being named International Capability.
