Cross-Cultural Management

Now called "Cross-Cultural Management" to more clearly reflect the content, the second edition has been refined to build on the strength of the earlier edition for a stronger emphasis on understanding of the most current research on culture in organizational settings. The text examines cross-cultural management issues from a psychological or behavioural perspective. It focuses on the interactions of people from different cultures in organizational settings and helps the reader gain an understanding of the effect of culture that can be applied to a wide variety of cross-cultural interactions in various organizational contexts.

"Overall, I found the chapters build on one another, and by the end of the book, I am confident that my students will be well-sensitized and well-equipped to take on international assignments. I have to commend the author for delivering a "handbook" in just 300 pages, without the readers (and students in particular) noticing this. All of the concepts were very easy to comprehend and well articulated. The author clearly did a tremendous job balancing challenge with appeal without losing the readers." -- Eddy S.W. Ng 20110228 "An excellent, useful textbook that learners keep for the future reference." -- Dr. Kumiko Watanuki 20090805 "I was very pleased at the amount of coverage given to examining the individual and to see that section two is heavily focused on psychological characteristics." -- Tim Hill 20090330
