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
