This issue contains five articles that address a variety of topics: managing teams with diverse compositions, global governance, leadership, means of transportation, and a cross-cultural analysis of management skills in five countries. In the first article, Hall recognizes that managing teams with diverse compositions has positive and negative aspects. He proposes seven ways by which managers can minimize or neutralize the negative effects and provides a chart that summarizes the suggestions for reducing strong faultlines. The seven suggestions are: recognize faultlines triggers; develop superordinate team identity; understand the importance of beliefs, culture, and norms; employ appropriate structures; recognize the effects of team autonomy; use compatible levels of intra-team communication; and use appropriate leadership styles.
