1. Introduction to the topic

This assignment plans to grade the significance of international manager’s uniqueness according to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) personal as well as community leaders in adding to put the majority significant and insisted decision-making information in the UAE managers in the after that few years. The study affectionate that the international managers were graded the educational status because the majority significant requirement then job efficiently in teams powerfully, negotiate efficiently, ability to study, give management, work successfully with higher manager, strong technological skills, inspire as well as invigorate persons and communication abilities are extremely significant skills to the existing international mangers. The each of the managers views examined in this investigate consider that the manager is not essential to be woman as much because to be gentleman to employment in the worldwide level. In conditions of the expected significance in the approaching few years the study disclosed that the managers’ views demonstrate communication skills, use information technology (IT), information of home culture, strong technological skills and information in managerial and ability to study are the skills by the majority of significant in the near prospect. As well, the international manager is not significant to be female.The consequences will assist in defining the foremost features of prospect international managers in the UAE.

2. Management activities critically analyzed with examples2.1 International management function of coordinating and controllingEssentially, managerial synchronization as well as manage is captivating a methodical approach to figure out if they are performing what they required to be responsibility or not. It's the fraction of development following they have chosen what they necessary to be performing. Underneath are a few of the main methods to managerial organizing as well as synchronization (Zimmerer, T. W., et al., 1998).2.2 Numerous persons are reluctant to Management ControlFresh, additional "natural" shapes otherwise firms let company to be additional approachable as well as flexible in today's fast altering globe. These shapes too grow empowerment amongst workers, much additional than the hierarchical, strictly prearranged firms of the earlier period.Numerous persons declare that as the nature of corporations has distorted consequently should the nature of administration manage. A few persons depart consequently distant as to maintain that supervision should not work out a few shape of manage whatever. They maintain that administration must survive to hold up human resources hard work to be completely creative associates of corporations as well as group of people so, some shape of manage is totally oppose creative to administration as well as workforce (Sotiriou, D., et al., 2001).A few persons still respond powerfully alongside the expression administration control. The statement itself can have an apathetic insinuation, e.g., it can character control, coercive because fine because severe handed. It appears that writers of management text now favor employ of the expression "coordinate" quite than scheming.

2.3 Coordination must exist or there's no corporation: Only an experienceDespite of the unenthusiastic nuance of the expression control, it have to survive otherwise there is refusal corporation at all. In it’s the majority essential shape, a firm is two or additional

Page 2: ZKZ

persons operational jointly to arrive at a target. Whether a corporation is extremely technical or altering as well as self organize, the company should survive for a few cause, a few reason, a few task otherwise it is not a firm at all. The corporation should have a few objectives. Recognize this objective needs a few appearance of planning, relaxed or official. Attainment the objective means identifying a few approaches, proper or relaxed. These approaches are decided winning through associates of the firm by a few shape of communication, prescribed or familiar. Then associates place concerning to do something in agreement with what they decided to perform. They might alter their brains, well. Other than they require to distinguish as well as admit that they are altering their brains (El-Sabaa, S., 2001).This shape of continuing communication to arrive at a target, path behavior to the objective as well as then following choices concerning what to perform is the spirit of administration synchronization, it requirements to survive in a few way prescribed or familiar.The subsequent are quite characteristic techniques of harmonization in firms. They are employed as means to converse way and direct behaviors in that track. The purpose of the subsequent techniques is not to "control" other than quite to direct. If as of continuing communications amongst management as well as staff, the way alters, then well. The subsequent techniques are altered therefore.Numerous of the next techniques are consequently ordinary that they frequently do not believe of them because having everything to perform with synchronization at all. Refusal substance what one calls the subsequent techniques synchronization or control they are significant to the achievement of a few corporation.

2.4 Numerous managerial ControlsCorporations frequently employ typical texts to make sure whole as well as reliable data is met. Texts comprise headings as well as dates to notice dissimilar descriptions of the paper. Computers have rebellion managerial controls by employ of incorporated administration data structures etc. Firms characteristically need a broad variety of reports to check what's being completed through when and how (Boyatzis, R. E., 1982).

2.4.1 DelegationDelegation is an approach to obtain equipment completed, in combination with additional human resources. Delegation is frequently sighted because a main means of pressure as well as so is classified because an action in foremost. Delegation usually comprises transmission responsibility to a worker to total a job, yielding the worker enough power to increase the sources to perform the job as well as hire the personnel choose how that job will be carried out. Characteristically, the individual conveying the job shares answerability with the worker for ensure the job is whole (Blackburn, S., 2002).

2.4.2 AssessmentsAssessment is cautiously gathering and examining data in order to create choices. There are a lot of kinds of assessments in firms, for instance, assessment of advertising attempts, assessment of worker efficiency, agenda assessments etc. Assessments can focal point on numerous features of a firm as well as its procedures, for instance, its targets, procedures, results etc.

2.4.3 Performance Management

Performance management (PM) focal point on the efficiency of the entirety firm comprising its procedures, serious as well as workforce, the majority of them has a few essential feeling of worker efficiency administration, counting the responsibility of productivity evaluations. Productivity appraisals give an chance for managers as well as their staff to frequently converse concerning targets, how fine those targets must be gathered, how fine the targets are being gather as well as what should be completed to carry on to convene those targets. The worker is recompensed in a few shape for gathering productivity normal otherwise embarks on a growth plan with the manager in arrange to get better output.

2.4.4 Policies and ProceduresPolicies assist make sure that performances in the place of work be traditional to state or federal rules as well as too to hopes of the firm. Frequently, strategies are related to stated conditions in the shape of process. Workers strategies as well as events assist make sure that worker rules are go after as well as reduce the probability of expensive court case. A process is a gradually record of activities necessary to behavior a sure job. Events make sure that custom works are taken out in an effectual as well as well-organized style (McDaniel, K., et al., 1996).

Currently persons activities are flattering ordinary (Addison, T., 2003).

3. Qualities and attributes important of a manager in responsibility about activities in international background

3.1 Skills and Competencies of International ManagersCustomary big business techniques are being completed superfluous through the rush of globalization. Managers who carry on doing their customary decision-making skills extended increased in business schools are judgment themselves unproductive in the international environment. Globalisation is a “theoretical condition where political boundaries turn into more and more immaterial, financial interdependencies are intensified as well as nationwide dissimilarities owing to dissimilarity in communal cultures are central subjects of big business. The world with its multifaceted as well as lively forces, develop into a worldwide market for international managers” (Kedia and Mukherji 1999), in such a globe merely the ones who appreciate the crash globalization causes as well as therefore adjust so will stay alive. Therefore to be spirited in the worldwide market the customary managers should exceed as well as turn into international managers.

A review of literature has been assumed to recognize the worldwide attitude as well as the abilities and capabilities necessary to the worldwide managers. As of the many structures, this document suggests a novel structure plan consisting of (1) information capabilities; (2) interpersonal capabilities and (3) individual capabilities. Skills as well as capabilities in these

Page 4: ZKZ

groups are inter-reliant of every additional suggestive of that the growth of single group cannot survive with no the additional.

3.2 Global ManagersPrevious to frame the abilities and capabilities essential to flattering effectual worldwide managers, it is necessary to appreciate who as well as what worldwide managers are. There are many previous studies as well as literature obtainable on this theme as well as thus far there appear to be refusal agreement towards a united meaning. It is through the functions as well as roles of the current that capabilities are got shape. Though, owing to the deviation of the meaning of the international manager, the functions and purposes that put them separately as of home managers have too not been obviously explained as well as decided winning. The dissimilar functions credited to the worldwide managers presented through Caligiuri (2006) are sketched in Table. Therefore appears the conflicting structures of capabilities of the international manager.

3.3 Table: Two presented sets of functions ascribed to the international manager

Argument presented by Baruch (2002) and Bartlett & Ghoshal (1994) was controversial as it was against the famous concept that there are managers who can work across the globe. Bartlett & Ghoshal were in contrast at the view that they there is a difference between quality of work by a specialist and a manager who is responsible for every thing. They gave an example that the levels of quality in work that can be achieved from a combination of a corporate manager leading and integrating the work done by three types of managers like country manager, operational manager and business managers all have different fields of specialty. So, according to them all

Page 5: ZKZ

these managers have different roles and one cannot best perform the job of other as he does not have practice of that work. According to Baruch, there are not such standards exists in the literature of management that can describe best the characteristic of the role of a global manager. In the end they also conclude that without having knowledge of local markets and other necessary qualities a manager cannot work in a foreign country. This conclusion does not match with their own argument that there is no existence of global managers. Jokinen (2005) considering the differentiations present by Baruch and Bartlett state that their work describes the features of global management that is a world wide accepted concept of management.

Amongst the numerous definitions, global managers are those who “understand different cultures and lead mixed-nationality teams” (Barnevik, 2001) and are “able to unleash human potential and leverage the richness that lies in cultural diversity” (Whitfield, 2003). One working globally may expect that managers working globally should play the significant role of being a controller, modernizer, instructor, strategist and integrator. A manager, who has vision of working globally and who in fact, is equipped with all the qualities and his way of thinking along with his knowledge and skills can be regarded as a global manager (Kedia and Mukherji, 1999). All these skills and knowledge will prove helpful for the managers in order to be successful in the global markets and to get competitive advantages for their organizations.

3.4 Essential Competencies of a Global ManagerThere are numerous models that describes the necessary competencies of global managers as we can observe from the table given below, however, a new model is suggested for the present paper which can bring into discussion the features of ‘global competencies’. In order to describe best all the necessary competencies that should be possessed by a global manager, literature on the concerned topic is being reviewed. All the competencies that were integrated in that model are (i) they always consider solid facts and figures and have capacity of achieving their targets; (ii) having abilities like cognition and such behaviors that can lead to successful accomplishment of assigned tasks; (iii) having basic personal skills and knowledge which is developable. There may three meta-competencies classifications of these competencies like; (1) competencies regarding knowledge and skills (2) interpersonal competencies; and (3) personal competencies.

(The table ‘Leadership Competencies of Global Leaders’ (Parker 2005, 385).

3.6 Knowledge competenciesSo far as competencies regarding knowledge and skills are concerned these relate to technological, industrial and business related real information and strong understanding of these facts. All these are the key points for being perceived as a global manager (Jokinen, 2005). Here by competencies we mean best understanding of international business, diversity of cultures, risk

Page 7: ZKZ

management at international level, international working standards and know-how about technology and industry. 3.7 International knowledgeWhat is international knowledge; it is a clear vision regarding social, political and economical systems of the country in which organization is working. While working globally internationally acceptable standards of business illustrates that organizations should follow all the rules and regulations of that country in which they are not native. A clear understanding of all will help managers in their decisions in global perspective. Managers doing international business should be aware of some major issues like international law, international finance and relative labor relations (Caligiuri 2006). Knowledge and all these skills will help the managers in expanding their businesses beyond their native country boundaries and will provide them a competitive edge.

3.8 Global risk management

Mihaly Simai’s definition of international risk as “important, potential disturbing and destabilizing factors or acts originating with, or generated by, various actors on different structural levels, and having spillover consequences for other members of the international community” was quoted by Parker (2005). Dishonesty, fluctuations in the exchange rates and changes in the political environment are some common risks attached with international businesses. Organizations working globally can avail many tactics for improving the depth of their business activities like if they are facing heavy wage rates to their native country they may move to county where they wages are comparatively nominal and if in some countries suppliers are charging abnormal prices they may find a cheap supplier for them anywhere in the world. International business need global managers to face uncertainties attached with it and they have to be ready to face maximum risks they can imagine. However, it can observe from the past that in the year 2000 risks like these were not properly managed by the organizations.

4. Internal and external factors influence the work of the global manager in the specific country

4.1 Business in the UAEA business culture having full dimensions of diversity within it is in United Arab Emirates (Al-Shaikh., 2001). People working in different organizations in the country are coming almost from every country of the world. Everyone in the country can enjoy freedom in his business, economic and social activities due to its moderate culture, specially one city Dubai, the business hub of the country, was developing at a fast pace. Considering the Liberty of Dubai many international business empires established their regional offices in the city. The managers of future can have inspirations from 2020 project introduced by government of Dubai. The country was becoming famous in the global markets due to its oil reserves, which are source of strategic benefits for the country. Islam being a global religion has every thing for all the countries and people of the world including Dubai especially as it is an Islamic country. Islam is a religion of all the people of the world that is not only the legacy of any part of the world and everyone in the world can have guidance from the Holy Book of Almighty Allah. Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) presented for the first time an idea of Islamic country having a formal constitution (Pact of

Page 8: ZKZ

Medina) securing not only the rights of Muslims of Medina but as well as other minorities, this was the first step towards development of an international Islamic culture based on society of Medina. The last sermon of the Holy prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) was having an order or declaration for all people of the world regarding rights of humanity. In reality this was the very base of globalization of world countries. An individual having all the technical knowledge, well settled family matters, assisted by his/her life partner, passion of working globally, experience of dealing diversity of cultures, good communication abilities and know how to manage anxiety can be regarded as a global manager. In order to be successful in international business environment managers should have personalities full of flexibility to be adjusted in any part of the world and should not have biased behavior in regard of anyone’s beliefs and religion, in fact he need to respect everyone. A burning question is that can women of the world become part of international business in countries like UAE that are liberal but as well as conservative at the same time. However, they may feel comfortable in the free environment of western world (Hebard, 1996).

5. ConclusionThere are many researches on the global managers and their functioning but scholars are still having difference of opinion regarding a single definition of a global manager. It is for that reason that a single definition cannot be enough for explaining the features of a global manager. In order to be a successful global manager, not only they should possess the ability to work with set standards but they should have some extra-ordinary competencies. International mansagers should possess all the competencies and having a set of competencies will require managers to have more and more because all these competencies are interlinked with each other.
