'This book is an excellent collection of practical and useful cases
in cross-cultural management, with some that are very different
from what we would call ''traditional'' cases in cross-cultural
management. They are excellent teaching material with an
introduction and a conclusion that show students and practitioners
how meanings are negotiated in diverse and complex cross-cultural
situations.' - Marie-Therese Claes, Louvain School of Management,
Belgium 'A fascinating book for both the diversity of cultures that
are touched upon (from Asia and Africa to Europe and America) and
the cultural analyses that are made of various management
situations resulting from the transfer of management techniques
across countries or the encountering of those embedded in different
cultures.' - Philippe d'Iribarne, CNRS, France 'A group of
multidisciplinary authors from various countries and cultures bring
rich experience to this volume. The focus on real-life situations
offers a fresh perspective on culture in organizations and
management through in-depth case studies including both academic
and pedagogical sides. It addresses multi-level cross-cultural
issues of international strategic importance for globalizing
workplaces. This insightful book is excellent reading for
practitioners as well as scholars and students interested in
applications in the field of cross-cultural management.' - Cordula
Barzantny, Toulouse Business School, France 'This volume offers an
insightful introduction to qualitative field research aiming to
understand the dynamics in intercultural business interactions.
Based on the findings provided in ten rich cases from Asia, Europe,
North Africa, USA and Latin America, the editors also propose
strategies for more effective collaboration in challenging
multiple-cultures contexts. The authors and editors have succeeded
in transforming the field studies into cases that are stimulating
and thought provoking readings, both for practitioners and students
of cross-cultural management.' - Anne-Marie Soderberg, Copenhagen
Business School, Denmark The cases draw on field research revealing
challenges and insights from working across nations and cultures.
Each case provides recommendations for practitioners that are
developed into a framework for effective intercultural interactions
as well as offering illustrations and insights on how to handle
actual cross-cultural issues. This enriching book covers various
topics including international collaborations across and within
multinational companies, organizational culture in international
joint ventures and knowledge transfer. Based on empirical fieldwork
and qualitative analyses, this path-breaking book will appeal to
graduate and postgraduate students in international management as
well as practitioners. Contributors: G. Azevedo, C.I. Barmeyer, S.
