Manage Flexibly in Ambiguous, Volatile Environments

Abstract

You may have worked in an industry that has gone through roller-coaster cycles or for a company that has been restructured, but these situations are different from the volatile, unpredictable environment you are going to encounter in a developing country. To a certain extent, change in the West is controlled and expected. Even if it feels chaotic as a company restructures or is acquired, in the United States or Europe these events take place within a familiar framework. While you may be upset by the changes that are going on around you, you generally understand the logic of the moves being made and the consequences for you and others.
