Are you working in an international environment?
My major research interests is the problem of managing people and companies in a cross cultural environment. My major teaching responsibilities are a course I created titled HR & ME.  This seminar introduces HEC's MBA, Grande Ecole, and Masters students to human resource management from a perspective that is immediately useful to their careers. Simply stated, the question discussed in each session is, "How can company HR policies help (or hurt) my career?"  I also offer courses in cross cultural management and the special independent study course entitled Best in France.  Click on the names for links to these courses.

The following links will take you to his personal pages and various project pages at HEC School of Management where you can find a collection of articles & links about organisational & personal adaptation in a cross cultural context such as: managing your career, subordinates, superiors, salary & taxes, and other useful subjects.
