Preface.

Abstract

The six scholarly studies that constitute this special issue focus on various interesting subjects including the German firms’ global performance and budgetary transparency in public sector to the role of management and their support in organizational performance and performance of employees and their impact on social and environmental aspects of the business working environment in both developed and developing countries. While the first paper is based on data from Germany, the next five papers are from Vietnam and Thailand that provide interesting insights about countries from two different regions (Europe and East Asia) and open the discussion around the impact of social, political and cultural differences in different geographical regions and how they play a phenomenal role in affecting both organizations and individuals.
