Hello Howard:
Australia is one of the countries with a moderate level of immigrants and
international workforce. One of the suggestion is to cover a topic in
Cultural Differences in the Workplace.
I am originally from Russia and residing in the USA for the last eight
years. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, Organizational
Dynamics Program. Most of my research at Penn and publication was done on
the cultural
differences in conducting a business. If you are intersted in this
subject,
please let me know >
Sincerely,
Val Mikhailovski
> Our university is increasing its activities in the field of manufacturing

> Among the topics to be covered would be the management of innovation,
> management and organisation of workforces with high levels of technological
> skill and education, impact of the very high flexibility now required in
> manufacturing. I am now responsible for this program and would welcome
> suggestions for other topics to include, points where organisation studies
> in manufacturing management are distinct (or not) from OB and OD in
