Organizational behavior is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups and structures have on behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication, and management; and it complements the academic studies of organizational theory (which is focused on organizational and intra-organizational topics) and human resource studies (which is more applied and business-oriented). It may also be referred to as organizational studies or organizational science. The field has its roots in industrial and organizational psychology.

The global manager has to play multidimensional role by combining his technical skill, people skill and soft skill. the manager must have combination of hard as well as soft skills. He must be able to organize, analyze and motivate people at international level.

GLOBAL MANAGER HAS FOLLOWING ROLES : 1. IN THE CAPACITY OF COUNTRY MANAGER. The global manager has to deal with clients, legal bodies, immigration authorities on behalf of his office. 2. IN THE CAPACITY OF FUNCTIONAL MANAGER. The global manager has to select right technique, right resources, software projects to compete at international level. 3. IN THE CAPACITY OF BUSINESS LEADER.

Managing a Thai hospital :Here the primary motto of a manager would be to provide relevant health services to people depending on type of organization whether it is profit motive or not. It is no different than other managerial acts performed in the other fields .Here managers have to deal with same stuffs like employees,maintainance,progress report ,annual accomplishments and so on.

For a government agency on Venezuela :

Since it is a government based organization its economic aspect would be planned economy.Here managers are under the authority of the government and they should use their global skills to communicate under the supervision of the government passing through several diversities .

Yes, the GLOBE framework discussed earlier is applicable to both situations. Managers must first understand the unique cultural characteristics of each country in order to modify management decisions and practices. .
