Decline of the American ManagerEditor's Note: This article reprinted by permission of the New York Times. Herb Altschull writes on business topics from Brussels

______By Herb Altschull______

, BRUSSELS America: home of the expert manager, exporter of manage­ ment talent, preacher to the world in management techniques. Maybe, tat it seems that the converts are coming into their own with a vengeance.

No one has exact figures, but agree­ ment is general Oat toe number of Americans in management positions in Europe reached its peak in the early 1960's and after leveling off for a decade is now on its way down. Part of the reason is simple economics, and part, mat management styles are con­ verging, ending the American stranglehold on the training and nurtur­ ing of the international executive,

Tne view from Brussels, where com­ panies from all over the world gather to deal with Common Market func­ tionaries, is clear. In the last year

alone, Texaco, Citibank, Kraftco, andeven The Conference Board, the private business research concern, havereplaced key American executives with Belgians,

A recent survey conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Belgium, covering 1,168 American con­ cerns doing business in this country, showed that the No. 1 reason for replac­ ing American employees was develop­ ment of local management ability.

pany in placing an American in charge of a European affiliate," Mr. Goossens. "but there are just as many advantages in patting a national into that job."

Cost is, of course, a significant factor. and it ranked second in the Belgian survey. But as Kenneth Deardorff. an American and manager of Genera! Motors* large Antwerp operations, observed. "The multinationals are prepared to pay the price to keep an

"Hie multinationals are prepared to pay the price to keep an American in the job-if that manager is worth the tab."

"Business isn't a thing of citizen­ ship," said Paul Baudler, who has been running the American Chamber of Commerce in West Germany for 28 years, "It's whether the guy who you hire is able to do the job, not whether he carries a blue passport."

John Goossens was chosen by Texaco last year to run its operations in Belgium, his native country. "There are advantages for an American corn-

American in the job if that manager is worth the lab."

No one knows the number of Americans working abroad. In its last annual report, the State Department listed 1.6 million civilian, non- diplomatic Americans registered as liv­ ing overseas as of June X, 1979, but not all who register work, nor do those who are in business for themselves or who work without permits necessarily

register. Still, toe American presence is clearly shrinking, and the reasoning that Harvard Business School-trained executives be placed in the top positions of a multinational's European subsidiaries is receeding The American Club of Pans, a luncheon group and the social hub of the American community there, reports its enrollment down to fewer than 480, from a peak of 600 two years ago. Airline companies, while they do not give figures, acknowledge thai tne number of Americans in Europe is down sharply, with fewer contracts to negotiate. Boeing, which one* had dozens of salesmen active all over Europe, probably has fewer than 10 now.

Salaries alone are not what make Americans so expensive. In fact, as salaries rose through the I970"s and the dollar's value dropped, Europeans in many cases caught up with, and sur­ passed American salary levels. Cor­ porate officials say tne average qualified West German gets the

Exim Bank Director HostedByTimHanahan

Director of the Export Import Bank of the United States, Margaret Ware Kahliff will open the 1980 World Affairs Conference with a keynote address at the banquet October 9. She will be ad­ dressing the role of the bank in Latin American development.

In addition to Ms. Kahliff the con­ ference, entitled "Brightening Economic Prospects of Latin America", is bringing a number of distinguished visitors to campus. These include leaders of government, in­ dustry, and academia with expertise in Latin America. The banquet gives students an opportunity to interact with many of these on a social basis.

Before joining Exim Bank in 1976, Ms. Kahliff was Chairman of the Board of Majestic Molding Company, a mold­ ed plastics firm of which she was Presi­ dent from 1972 to 1975. Her earlier ex­ perience included 22 years of ex­ perience in the vending and food ser­ vice industry. She was also the first woman Member of the Board of Direc­ tors of the Greater Cleveland Growth

Association and of the Cleveland Sales and Marketing Executives.

Since joining the Export-Import Bank, she has served on two trade mis­ sions overseas annually. She describes her position as being "like that of any other bank director" but on the other hand, "1 haven't done the same thing two days in a row since I started."

The Export-Import Bank of the United States is an independent agency of the U.S. government. Exim assists in financing the sale otU.S. goods and ser­ vices overseas and thus directly con­ tributes to the economic well-being of this country.

The Bank is designed to be a finan­ cially self-sustaining institution. Exim was established by an Executive Order in 1934 and incorporated by Congress in 1945. Since beginning operations, the Export-Import Bank has paid more than $1 billion to the U.S. Treasury and

has supported more than $90 billion in U.S. export sales. In fiscal 1978 alone. the Bank authorized well over $1.6 billion in loans, guarantees and medium-term insurance in Latin America from a total world-wide authorization of just over $7.3 billion.

The banquet begins wilh a reception with cocktails and piano music on the quad at 7 p.m. The roea! itself is scheduled for 8 p.m. in the dining hall. The menu, catered by the AGS1M food service, will be served in buffet style Jt includes shrimp with cocktail sauce. beef tips, breaded mushrooms and is topped with Napoleons.

Students are encouraged to attend the banquet as well as the conference the following day. Tickets for the reception and banquet will be on sale in the post office on Monday and Tuesday. October 6 and 7. They are priced at $7.00 for students and $10.00 for all others.

BIFT,AGSIM Faculty Exchange Slated

Margaret W. Kahliff

by Regina Stair RidleyThe President of the Beijing Institute

of Foreign Trade, Tien Guang-Tao will arrive at AGSIM for the October 3 sign­ ing of a formal agreement outlining a faculty exchange program between AGSIM and BIFT.

The agreement has already led to the visit of BIFT's Professor Yao Nien- Ching who arrived in Arizona on September 16 and will stay at AGSIM until October 13. Yao will lecture on Foreign Trade in the P.R.C. and speak in several classes, including IS-412 Modern China.

Tien Guang-Tao, President of BIFT and William Voris, President of AGSIM will sign the agreement on October 3 at the Board of Trustees Luncheon in the Thunderbird Room. At approximately 2 pm Tien will address students and

faculty, tentatively scheduled to take place on the grass across from the Key Manager Building.

The signing of the agreement is the culmination of one and a half years of visiting and negotiating between AGSIM and BIFT. According to Dr. Marshall Geer, Dean of Faculty, a ten person delegation from BIFT came to the United States in the Spring of 1979 and visited numerous business schools with the intent of setting up exchange programs. They spent several days at

i AGSIM and found the program of foreign language, political science and business very similar to BIFT's pro­ gram.

Geer said that BIFT had learned about AGSIM from Mr. Julian M. Sobin, Chairman of the Board of Sobin

Parking Area Shrinks A large number of prime student parking spaces have been cordoned off-limits adding substantially to the parking problem .It is not readily apparent way so large an area needs to be closed.

Parking Problem Emerges

to tfie editor Parking Tickets UbiquitousWe'd like to address some

comments to the issu« of cheating which received top NiHm«i m ^*> September *- 1980 i.vsuc of the DAS TOR While we agree with the author thai what cheating oc­ curs on this campus is deplorable, we object to the tone of the article, and its un­ fortunate emphasis on the pro­ blem among foreign students

As third semester students at AGSIM and alumni of the Graduate College of the University of Illinois, we have seen graduate students cheating (or all of seven years AoaiM certainly does not have a franchise on cheaters It is a common problem from coast to coast in this country. along with falling SAT scores. College Entrance Examina­ tion scores and low high school reading levels. To imply that the problem is culturally skewed does not only ignore the facts but is very insulting to foreign students on campus.

We have seen cheating by American students, as well as others, through our entire tenure at AGSIM. We have also seen a great number of dedicated foreign students studiously working long hours to master material they find difficult. Laziness and lack of application and/or ability are reasons for cheating which span national boundries. While the pressures to cheat may be greater on the foreign student, we sincerely feel that the incidence of cheating among this group is no more than it is among the native born.

I hope professors are not predisposed to see cheating

among foreign students when it is not occurring as a result of the hearsay and ftcwidiiues reported in this paper. Even when impres­ sions are gathered through the years, they may be no more accurate a description when applied to current AGSIM foreign students than they would to any other specific student group.

We suggest that "evidence" to the contrary is the result of the expectation, and thereby the focus of attention, on theforeign studwit population After all. you can't look in all directions at once Changing the "focus mix" of attention could very well result in a more balanced showing of cheaters.

Our apologies to those Japanese and foreign students who work so hard to make the grade.

We would like to apologize to the students who applied to the Placement Committee and were not given consideration. Through no fault of our own, a stack of applications were misplaced last semester.

A capable committee bad been selected prior to discovering the lost applica­ tions. We encourage these peo­ ple to re-apply next semester and this situation will be taken into account at that time.

With campus security writing tickets in record amounts, a parking shortage has become apparent to many AGSIM students this semester. The key to this pro­ blem seems to be the perma­ nent closure of the prime parking area lying between the library and Career Ser­ vices.

The reason this area has been permanently closed "is for the eventual construction of a central square, similar to something like Harvard Square. This would be an area where students could con­ gregate between classes. Landscaping has been plann­ ed including trees and benches for the students use.

It is planned that eventually the entire area surrounding the new classroom building will be for parking." This should provide more than am­ ple parking in prune areas.

In lieu of the current park­ ing problem some other in­ teresting facts concerning parking privileges on this

campus have emerged. Ac­ cording to campus security, 32

hangar are reserved for facul­ ty free of charge. This is in contrast to the $2) being charged to AGSIM students. In addition to the revenue which is being lost to ASLC on these free parking spaces, there is a shortage of available parking in the hangar. 15 students are presently on the waiting for spaces.

The security officer also commented, "one faculty member in addition to having a reserved space in the hangar, has 4 other reserved spaces dotted around campus.

Parking congestion seems to be greatest in the area bet­ ween the library and the facul­ ty offices. According to cam­ pus security, "if we allow one person to park his car Utegal- Iy, another person comes along and parks parallel to the first. Before long there is barely enough room for cars to pass creating a very dangerous situation if there were to be a fire."

Students consistently

frustrated by being told where not to park may wonder where they ess kgs'ly park «uki ye» not suffer from aching feet. The obvious solution is to park behind the library in the dirt Campus security has related several tales that students have told fearing tickets because they are parking off the pavement. Campus securi­ ty assures all that they are en­ couraging students to park in this area and no tickets will be issued.

Some other parking tips camptis security r*»«tes con­ cerns the administration park­ ing lot at night. According to campus security, "The ad­ ministration lot is a reserved parting lot at all times. Past experience has shown time and time again night and weekend parking in this lot by students has not worked out satisfactorily. Therefore park­ ing in this area subjects one to a parking citation.

American Managers

I used to feel good all under. Just a few weeks of living on Uiis campus has caused my good all under feeling to disap­ pear. I must confess that this change of comfort has serious­ ly affected my attitude and personality.

I arrived on Oils campus with 27 briefs, six of which were of a quality known as Hanes. After a small number of trips to the Sobo Lounge laundry room, my number of Hanes dwindled and then vanished all together.

At first I thought they had just disintegrated In the washer. After afl, this bard water can be pretty rough on clothes. With a thorough In­ vestigation I discovered no residue in the bottom of the machines.

"Aha!" I said to myself. "Someone has absconded with my favorite essentials!" Be­ ing a quizzative reporter, I ap­ plied my talents to questioning fellow students whether they had noticed that their clothes were disappearing. I tallied my results and found out that the following were missing:

5 white T-shirts neck size 18

1 long sleeve dress shirt- neck size 15'/z

3 short sleeve casual shirts neck size 15'7

1 pair of jeans waist size 401 pink swimsuit with a pur­

ple racing stripe6 pairs of Hanes briefs26 socks, all the mates of

which the owners still possess­ ed

2 bras (of greatly differing sins)

Spairsof bikini panties (all bearing strange messages)

With all this valuable in­

formation I was able to make a conclusion; I was dealing with a mastermind in criminal behavior and technique. After careful analysis, a composite of the culprit became dear in my mind.

Unless the thief was a woman carrying ERA to ex­ tremes, it can be assumed that the culprit was a male. 1 believe he has a 154 inch neck, but likes to wear his t- shirts nice and loose. He pro­ bably wears his pants very baggy, because i! lie is wear­ ing my underwear and is a size 40, his voice probably went up an octave.

His taste in clothes is a little suspect by the choice of swim- suit he stole (it doesn't say much for the owner either, i As for the socks, they convince me that he is a sadist, because

there is nothing so irritating as a sock without a mate. His fetish for women's underclothing could mean either of two things; he likes to pretend he's something he is not or he is a leftover from the age of panty raids.

I think we should stop this terrible disregard for the per­ sonal property of others, before it gets out of hand. So, if you see someone cheerful that used to be irritable, and if he sits still and comfortably in class while before he was con- sistenly squirming, you can rightfully assume that he is wearing my Hanes. i would greatly appreciate it if you would put him under citizen's arrest and search his briefcase that's probably where he keeps the rest of his stash of hot briefs.

$160 for every $100 earned by an American in the same posi­ tion, and Swiss and Belgians get even higher relative salaries.

But Americans must be paid for relocating, for educational allowances usually as much as $5.000 per chid for tome leave, and above all for Social Security and tax equalization. Tax burdens in Europe are often much greater than in the United States, and in such cases the companies pay the difference for their American executives.

Some changes are in the off­ ing. Belgian and American authorities have just com­ pleted a draft of a treaty to provide Social Security benefits in the host country if they are up to date at home. Still, an American earning an annual salary of KM.OOO is like­ ly to cost his company $120,000, or even more, ac­ cording to American ex­ ecutives abroad.

today: "In the high- area, we five

major laboratories. Four of those Five are in Europe and in every case, the top at those four managements is Euro peaa."

In the past, Mr. Quinn add­ ed, a "management gap" did exist between Americans and other nations, but he said the gap bad disappeared as more and more Europeans studied business and management skills at American univer­ sities and at home office.

And the closing of the gap is perhaps seen just as well by the growing number of non- Americans taking over top spots in the home offices of American companies, most recently illustrated when Cuban-born Roberto C. Gotzueta was named the new chairman of the Coca-Cola Company.

In addition, to prepare their own executives. Europeans have begun their own business schools, such as the European Institute of Business Ad­ ministration in Paris, which

At I.T.T.'s offices in Brussels, X Americans were' by Europeans last year.

But not everyone thinks the gap has been closed yet. For Roger Senez. a Canadian and managing director of Cham­ pion Spark Plugs" European operations, retaining North Americans in Europe is in­ deed worth the expense, "They are better at getting the job done and in punctuality in reporting." he said. "You ask an American a question and you get an answer real quick. From a Belgian, sometimes you get a very vague answer."

But at the S-story glass- and-steel skyscraper, the In­ ternational Telephone and Telegraph Corporation's European headquarters that dominates the Bois de la Cam bre, a total of 36 Americans were replaced last year with Europeans, according to Terry Quten, the British direc­ tor of corporate relations. Peak years for American employees at I.T.T. were 1973 and again last year, when the number of Americans stood at 150. The number now is 114, of a total Brussels staff of 900.

Mr. Quinn maintained that the number of Americans at I.T.T.'s headquarters was cut by 20 percent, not to replace them with Europeans, but because a corporate "restruc­ turing" had been entered by its new chairman. Rand V. Araskog. However, others are not so sure that reorganization was the only reason.

Mr. Quinn pointed out that I.T.T. has never employed many Americans in its foreign operations, even in top management positions. As for

was patterned after the Har­ vard Business School

No one is suggesting that Americans have lost their genius in marketing techni­ ques. In fact, much of what Europeans have learned about marketing has been taught by Americans

One such success is the McDonald's hamburger chain, one of the most suc­cessful postwar. American en;, '

Mac has pined such populari­ ty that European individual outlets are now selling just as much and often more than their American counterparts.

McDonald's has always followed a conservative philosophy, avoiding the tren­ dy and catering to the family trade, but it found it necessary to bend a bit when it entered Europe, adding tea to its menu in Britain and beer in West Germany and Belgium.

The McDonald's franchise operators abroad are all na­ tionals, familiar with the language and local customs. Indeed, the chief advantages enjoyed by European manage­ ment personnel have been their understanding of local customs, the local language and the way the local politi­ cians work.

Another formerly sacred position for Americans was the top financial positions in European subsidiaries, where companies preferred to have an American hand on the cash register. That, too, appears to be changing. "Trust is no na­ tional attribute," Mr. Dear- dorffsaid.

Geer was joined by Dr. Robert Horn, AGSIM's Direc­ tor of Development, on a January 1980 trip to China. The ensuing five to six day negotiations led to the Cooperation Agreement and Memorandum of Understan­ ding.

Tbe agreement is a rough outline of the faculty ex­ changes which will take place between the two schools over the next year. Two AGSIM professors are to visit BIFT this December for one month. According to Geer. three pro­ fessors may actually visit: Professors Wallace Reed and Barbara Reed from the World Business Department and Professor Richard Mahoney from tbe International Studies Department. BIFT will send three junior faculty members to AGSIM for the 1980 spring semester to teach and take courses.

Each school will pay the transportation costs of its faculty while the host schools will pay the room, board and minor living expenses of the visiting professors. According to Geer, grants from tbe Exx­ on Corporation and Federated

Department Stores will pro­ vide enough funds for the first year and a half of the pro­ gram, for the visits fo five AGSIM professors and four BIFT professors.

There is no provision in the agreement for a student ex­ change, although this is still being negotiated. Geer was told that BIFT could not ac­ cept any AGSIM students as they are in the process of ex­ panding from an enrollment of 1200 students to 4000 students, and that there are no special living quarters for foreign students as there are for facul­ ty. "Living conditions are spartan by U.S. standards." said Geer. "BIFT was originally an old movie studio built before World War II."

Even if AGSIM students were able to attend BIFT at the moment they would not be able to receive credit from AGSIM. said Geer. BIFT is not quite considered a graduate school as students are accepted on the basis of an aptitude test upon completion of secondary school. BIFT trains both customs guards and degree candidates in the fields of trade negotiation and import-export.

However. Geer hopes that the program will eventually include student exchanges and feels that BIFT might change its stance. "Trade is regarded as being extremely important in China," be said, "and China wants to develop its foreign trade capacity."
