N2 - This study investigates perceptions and attitudes of Australian, Chinese, Indian and South African managers to managing people and organisations. Comparisons between managers and organisations from Australia and China, India and South Africa reveal cross-cultural similarities and differences exist. While similarities exist with other Anglo countries there are exceptions, including significant differences between the direction of Australian management commitment and China, India and South Africa. The implications of these differences for international joint ventures are explored. The implications of motivators considered important to Chinese managers in the present study are also addressed.
