Cautioning that solutions provided by outside experts are often rejected or politely shelved, this guide for development-assistance professionals argues instead for the creation of ongoing networks that linkВ managers in emerging economies with colleagues inВ developed nations.В Since this collaborative model is not hierarchical, the discussion explains, top-down management techniques have to be replaced with a new mindset; examples ofВ both effective and ineffectiveВ peer networksВ are provided, along with specific techniquesВ for peer mentoring, negotiating, and reaching consensus in cross-cultural meetings.
