Rajiv Mehta, Rolph Anderson

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Applying the most effective leadership style (participative, supportive, directive, or achievement-oriented) in specific cultural environments can provide global sales managers with powerful tools for managing their diverse salespeople on a world-wide basis. This conceptualization seeks to advance our current understanding of sales manager leadership by developing hypotheses for future testing to suggest the appropriate leadership style to use in different cultural settings.
