Today I am going to talk about Organizational Behavior and the way an International Business Manager can use some tools and have to develop some skills in order to be successful.
Using these tools that study the behavior of people, international business managers will success in their decision making process easier, in addition, the will achieve more and better goals in less time to the organization interests, because he will know how to face challenges like Globalization, workforce diversity and Ethics, among their clients and employees.
An International Business Manager planning, organizing, delegating and controlling the organization interests is a fundamental element in the negotiation process that its organization id carrying out in order to achieve its goals, then, the main role of this agent is to supply the coordination, the encouragement, and the leadership to get to those goals in differing cultural and governmental environments. In order to success, any manager has to develop many skills that provide him the ability to survive in a multicultural world, without those skills it would be impossible to lead and coordinate any process. 
The needed skills, as the Lansing Community Collage said are in the following areas“(…)leadership, creativity, communication, human relations, marketing, organizational development, accounting and economics(…)”(Leasing Community Collage. ttp://www.lcc.edu/business/mgmt_marketing/careers/intnatl_bus_mgr.aspx) 
Managing appropriate skills in the international negotiation arena is a fundamental criteria for success in the global business environment. There are three levels that we as International Business students have to take into account in order to manage cultural differences, and those are Self, Interpersonal and organizational (Sizoo & Serrie, 2004)
“International business managers rate the ability to work with people of other cultures as the most important quality of success, particularly in overseas assignments” (Bhawuk & Brislin, 1992).

Hola Alejandro,
ResponderEliminarI really like your blog and especially that entry...I think you covered a lot of interesting aspects and I love the additionally added pictures to that. The only thing I might would add is the ability of managing conflicts, especially intercultural conflicts. That means recognizing the problem and mediate between the different conflict parties. And it also means to train your employees for these kinds of situations.
I really like the clear structure of your blog, the supporting pictures and your way of explaining!
There are indeed many skills that managers need in order to carry out their work successfully. Many of these skills are not easy to do, however a manager must be willing to do them because nowadays managers are going to confront all types of situations and all types of people from all races and cultures, and its important to understand these cultural differences to be able to put youself in the other persons shoes and be able to have a successful negotiation and avoid misperceptions.
