The caution note warns us that there are unanticipated outcomes to globalization such as heightened security concerns due to rising acts of violence and terror instigated by, among other things, the stark awareness of value differences. These value differences are brought forth by globalization forces that threaten the possibility of preserving separate ethnic identities and the prospects of assimilation of all by the forces of modernity. The isolation of cultures, nations, and markets of the previous period has been replaced by close interaction, intermingling, and integration among them, actually or virtually. International business and international management have significant roles in all this. To move cautiously in the uncharted waters of global business and to mitigate unanticipated consequences of globalization necessitate the study of international management.

《警示说明》警告我们，全球化有一些出乎意料的结果，例如，由于对价值差异的清醒认识等原因，暴力和恐怖行为不断增加，安全问题更加严重。这些价值差异是由全球化的力量所引起的，全球化的力量威胁着保持不同民族特性的可能性和现代性力量同化所有人的前景。前一时期文化、国家和市场的孤立已被它们之间的密切互动、交融和融合所取代，实际上或实际上是这样。国际商务和国际管理在这方面发挥着重要作用。要在全球商业的未知水域谨慎行事，减轻全球化带来的意外后果，就必须研究国际管理。
