Managing Across Cultures

More about the book

This text examines the opportunities, threats, challenges and possibilities inherent in managing across cultures. International responsibilities and contacts are increasingly widespread through companies, without even the need for international travel. The need to appreciate and be able to manage cultural differences, both in the home, office and abroad, is becoming more and more a part of everyones job. Each culture has its own particular blindspots and insights and knowledge of these can be leveraged for enhanced personal and organizational effectiveness. The book pulls together and integrates literature in crosscultural management, both academic and anecdotal, in a way that is useful to both MBA students and managers.
