Why are cultural differences significant? How can understanding
them contribute to business success? Cross-cultural management is a
crucial challenge for the successful development of international
business, yet it is often badly understood and poorly implemented.
Misunderstandings arise because culture affects both individuals
and organisations, yet attempts to understand, explain and
interpret these differences have often been hidden between a welter
of conflicting theories and paradigms. This book aims to provide
much-needed guide to both the theory and practice of cross-cultural
management. Using an innovative approach combining theory,
tool-kits and applications, this book takes a fresh look at this
complex topic. It is about recognizing cross-cultural differences,
accounting for them in managerial communications and bridging them
in a variety of negotiations. comprising an exploration of dominant
and alternative theoretical approaches, a research-based tool-kit
exploring responses, and finally a real-life case of a
multicultural situation of clashing values with a critical
description of an attempted solution. At the end of the book, the
author has developed an innovative approach to teaching cultural
sensitivity via exploration of a number of classic film
masterpieces. As a crucial part of the global business environment
and as essential aspect of organisational understanding, this book
will be welcomed by masters-level students of international
business, HRM and organisational behaviour, as well as executives
and consultants involved in cross-border negotiations and
management.
The degree to which the extensive business networks of ethnic
Chinese in Asia succeed because of ethnic characteristics, or
simply because of the sound application of good business practice,
is a key question of great current concern to those interested in
business, management and economic development in Asia. This book
brings together a range of leading experts who present original new
research findings and important new thinking on this vital subject.

explanatory framework, this book assesses the role, characteristics
and challenges of Chinese entrepreneurship and business networks in

time, place, institutional frameworks, and that explanatory
approaches of Chinese economic behaviour which stress culture and
ethnicity are too simplistic.

This pamphlet makes use of the most recent revisionist literature
to reassess the view, much propagated by nationalist sources, that
Ireland was a land of impoverished peasants oppressed by English
laws and absentee English landlords.
The land question has always been closely linked to the development
of Irish national consciousness, and greatly exercised the minds of
English politicians in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
The author examines the nature of English understanding of Irish
problems, which was often limited or ignorant, and attributes to it
much of the unsound and ineffective ligislation passed. The book is
concerned less with questions of English party politics than with
the situation in Ireland itself and with the nature of the English
response to it.
