About this title

Book Description

Now in its fifth edition, International Management Behavior, continues to help students develop the knowledge, perspective and skills they need in order to conduct global business successfully. The combination of well-chosen cases, current readings and text provides them with an excellent introduction to real-life management issues and a field-tested framework for understanding cross-cultural dynamics. For the fifth edition, the text has been thoroughly updated to reflect the authors' classroom experience, as well as feedback from professors and students who have used it. The Text and Readings sections now highlight new thinking on regional cultures, the global mindset, network organizations, Asian values, global business ethics, and sensemaking; while approximately half the cases have been replaced with more current material, such as Enron, NES China, House of Prince, and Yahoo.

From the Publisher

"As we enter the 21st century, the challenges of working and living successfully in a globally interconnected world only intensify. The new 5th edition of International Management Behavior, therefore, is now even more important than its previous excellent editions. Read it. It will help you understand the world and act effectively within it. Nancy J Alder, McGill University, Canada

"The readings and cases make clear how management practice is influenced by the balance between cultural and other factors in the context. It leads the manager to think critically about his or her own working environment. This excellent new edition is strongly recommended." Richard Mead, School of Oriental and African Studies, London
