Companies are becoming more global and international, and
commerce and information flow seamlessly across national borders.
In addition, modernization, rapid technological change, an
increasingly (shared) global culture, and shifting
socio-demographic values have created conditions in which career
stability is more threatened, while the importance of managing the
career well is paramount. But, what do we know about careers in
different contexts and how those career experiences vary in
different regions and countries of the world?
The goal of this book is to develop new understandings of career
from the vantage point of those who live in diverse cultures, and
who belong to different generations.
Careers Around the World explores the very meaning of what a
career for individuals is in different countries, cultures,
professions and age groups. What does career success mean for
people around the world? What are key career transitions, and how
are they best managed in different cultures? As those questions
have not yet been investigated in the literature of careers across
cultures and generations, the authors have taken an approach that
led to hearing the answers directly from working people around the
globe. This book presents the answers to these questions from each
of the seven major cultural regions of the world and the practical
implications of these differences for those who manage human
resources in organizations that cross national boundaries, as well
as those who advise on careers.
