Going global, feeling small: an examination of managers’ reactions to global re-structuring in a multi-national organization

This paper is concerned with examining the reactions of managers to the process of global re-structuring in a large, multi-national food processing company. Much extant research concerning globalisation has focused on the wider economic, political and social outcomes. Perhaps surprisingly, relatively little attention has been given to how globalisation is experienced inside organisations. This paper examines how country level managers have been affected by the move to a new global structure in their organisation. We present evidence of these managers feeling dis-empowered by global re-organisation and of a largely negative impact on their feelings towards the organisation they work for.
