Managing New Markets

Synopsis
Support video for course B762. Introduces two middle managers, the cabin services manager at British Airways and a product manager at Whirlpool, a US-based domestic appliance manufacturer. Both managers are having to re-examine the skills and values they bring to their jobs as their organisations become more global. In the context of global organisation, the programme looks at the effect of cross-cultural team working and the move towards greater cross-functionality. It reinforces the importance of information and training as the main vehicles for management competence.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
