Introduction
Managing in the global context is concerned with the practices and techniques which are
comprised in directing and controlling the international organizations. It covers all the issues
occurring in the international and global strategies. An organization has to face several issues
when it comes to operating globally. The companies are continued to expand globally and the
international market has also become more accessible in recent years. The international
market even represents more opportunities. The cross-cultural teams are also becoming more
common and the businesses can be benefitted from the progressively varied knowledge.
Along with the benefits, global organizations are facing a potential threat when it comes to
culture and international business. When it comes to the organizational behavior then it varies
in the different cultural contexts. This research report comprises the different socio-cultural
context in which global companies conduct operations. Organizational behavior is also
analyzed across countries and cultures. The report has also applied advanced theoretical
concepts and skills for developing evidence-based decisions in order to address contemporary
global management issues. The major cultural attributes have been also evaluated to apprise

Importance of the issues
The globalization has made possible for the companies to operate in more than one country.
The crossing from one nation to another gives the rise to the multicultural organization where
employees are made to work in more than one country. The companies managing in the
global context has a great impact on the success of international business operations. There
are some issues which are faced by companies when operating globally. These issues are
related to socio-cultural and organizational behavior. The contemporary global management
issues are also faced in applying advanced theoretical concepts. The socio-cultural issues area
set of common and accepted customs shared by society. But when it comes to managing
globally then what is common and accepted for a profession in one country can be different
in another country. So it is require understanding culture which affects to the international
business (Chumg, Seaton, Cooke & Ding, 2016). The organizational behavior issue has a role
in affecting the national culture on work attitudes and behavior mediated by the

organizational practices. The contemporary management issues affect the companies in the
form of the international company structure, foreign rules and regulations, payment methods,
accounting, political risks and more. The issue faced in the cultural context
Literature review
Managing in the global context has a great effect on the success of international business
operations. According to Iwabuchi, 2010, global business management is a procedure of
managing the business at the global level which results in the optimal utilization of the
resources and cost-cutting. The main aim of managing operations globally is to make the
business sustainable. The global business management is inseparable from the province of the
patterned cultural behaviors as culture is characterized in the forms of norms, values, beliefs,
and symbols which guide the routine life of the different people. The culture can be defined
in the number of ways. These are the set of common and conventional norms shared by
society. In the international context, the culture has identified three core areas,
communication, etiquette, and organizational hierarchy. It can help in avoiding the issues to
be faced in the socio-cultural context. The misinterpretations with the colleagues and clients
from overseas can be easily avoided and outdo in the global business environment.
According to Bird & Mendenhall, 2016, the comprehension of the organizational behavior
across countries and cultures has been a tough challenge. The organizational behavior
influences workplace practices and attitudes on the individual level. There is just little
assimilation to the organizational and socio-cultural variables. The organizational behavior
has been linked to the organizational practices. It has been observed that the smaller groups
show more possibilities for the interaction and have a higher level of voice behavior. The
cross-culture research validated the influence of the national culture on organizational
behavior and attitudes. As per Taylor, 2018, there are different behavioral issues in different
countries. It is also one way to explain variation in the behaviors in the form of culture. The
culture is a human-made part of the environment and is similar to the computer program
which controls behavior. The organizational behavior remains as a contributing factor in
shaping the organization.
The organizations now days face challenging situations on the global level. The
contemporary management issues even bring opportunities for the organizations operating on
the global level. These issues are in the form of globalisation, change, innovation, economic
