Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Managing effectively across national and cultural boundaries is critical to the success of today's organisations, given the global environment of business and the increasing diversity of workforces. A keen awareness and a high degree of cross-cultural competence in management are therefore key to the career success of both present and aspiring managers/professionals.

This, the third edition of Understanding Cross-Cultural Management , has been adapted in line with the feedback from our many readers . The book explores the key themes and issues in one of the most challenging and fascinating areas of business, organisational and social life. It does so in a manner that enables you to sharpen your insights and practical skills.
