departments, to other health systems, or even around the globe.
Healthcare managers who take on assignments in North America and around
the world must be equipped with the knowledge and tools to work
effectively with the systems, cultures, governments, and management
teams of their new environments. As the profile of the global healthcare
manager grows, so too does the need for future leaders to develop the
skills and competencies necessary to achieve organizational success
while improving the health of individuals and populations. The Global
Healthcare Manager: Competencies, Concepts, and Skills provides a
comprehensive overview of healthcare management and leadership in a
global context, with real-world perspectives from a broad range of
countries, cultures, and delivery settings. Written for both students
and practitioners, the book addresses the growing diffusion of diverse
managerial concepts, theories, and technologies across the world's
health systems.
The text carries a strong cross-cultural emphasis, with chapters written
by international authors who are experts on the health systems of
specific countries. Key concepts are reinforced through examples, case
studies, vignettes, exercises, and practical recommendations and
guidelines. The book is organized into four parts: Essential Health
Services Management Concepts and PracticesLeadership, Organizational
Design, and ChangeManaging the Organization-Environment InterfaceLooking

management challenges.
