A major new edition of the classic work that revolutionized the way business is conducted across cultures and around the globe. The fourth edition provides leaders and managers with practical strategies to embrace differences and successfully work across diverse business cultures.

Thoroughly updated to include the latest political events and cultural changes, as well as covering nine new countries to complete Europe, broadening the scope of the book. Building on his LMR model, Lewis gives leaders and managers practical strategies to embrace differences and work successfully across increasingly diverse business cultures.
