The Blackwell Handbook of Cross-cultural Management (Paperback)

This handbook helps readers to make sense of cutting edge issues in cross-cultural management. The editors have consciously selected contributors from a variety of nations and backgrounds so, alongside the work of management experts, several chapters are written by cross-cultural psychologists, sociologists and economists. Each of the contributors emphasizes research, but also demonstrates how theoretical perspectives and research findings can be applied to actual situations and organizations. The structure of the handbook reflects a model of management extending from the influence of national cultures on managerial and employee behaviour and then logically and sequentially covering: strategy, structure and inter-organizational relationships; human resources, motivation, rewards and leadership behaviour; interpersonal processes; and corporate culture and values. The volume should be welcomed by managers, researchers and students seeking insight into cross-cultural issues and problems in and across organizations.
