Introduction The moving of the business world into an interdependent global economic system is referred to as globalization1. The principal goal of a globalization strategy is successful economic development in different countries, but we see also the influence of the globalization process on social, political and culture life. One of most difficult barriers for this process is cultural values and norms of civilisations. Despite of process of market and production globalization and as of world modernisation that could guide to universal civilisation, the countries are different, because their evolution process and culture are different. Even if there is no reason to think, that these differences bring to conflict between civilisations in future, it is necessary to know, that making contact between various cultural societies demands great effort. In following paper we will discuses about a global marketing management, a new-product development and implementation at the global market, and also about global human resources management. We will illustrate some aspects to which a manager of an international firm must do attention doing business. We look at such elements, which constitute a firm's global managing such as: brands and their attributes, distribution system, exactly said, differences in distribution system, then we look at principal facts challenging a new-product development. Each product must be viewed in light of how it is perceived by each culture with which it comes in contact. An established product in one culture may be considered an innovation in another is critical in planning and developing consumer products for foreign markets. If we will discuss about managing functions, we will examine also global human resource management.
