Then there are brief characteristics of International Management concepts that refer to cultural dilemmas: the evolutionary theories of Transnational Corporations: the EPRG concept and I/R grid as well as N.J. Adler’s intercultural management models. The subsequent chapter presents selected problems of strategy and organizational structures, human resources management and international marketing in cultural aspects. The final part presents the concept of cultural effectiveness.
