The 12th edition of International Management: Culture, Strategy, and Behavior takes a user-friendly, well-balanced approach in covering all the critical dimensions and the interdependencies between them. This edition covers environment and OB/HRM over three chapters each, along with Culture and Strategy getting their own four chapters. The text also emphasizes a balance of research and application. The 12th edition has been updated to reflect how the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the fundamental assumptions about how international business is conducted. The authors also incorporated coverage of emerging markets that are facing a high level of stress and how the development of new technology, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, will result in fundamental changes to the global job market. This edition also marks the addition of a new author, Ajai Gaur, a Professor of Strategy and International Business at Rutgers University. Ajai brings subject expertise in global business strategy, emerging markets, institutions, and a range of other topics. He also has deep ties and links to East and South Asia and helps to further "globalize" the book.

Contrary to the common saying: we do want you to judge this new edition of Organizational Behavior by its front cover. Specifically, featured is that this is the 14th edition, it takes an ""Evidence-Based Approach," and similar to the previous edition there are now three Luthans authors. This 14th edition is based on the foundation provided by the first mainline text which has become the classic for the study and understanding of organizational behavior. However, by taking an evidence based approach, this insures that, even though a classic, this new edition adds the most recent and relevant research to the most extensive, up-to-date reference-base of any organizational behavior text. By adding the two closely related authors (professor sons) literally pumps ""new blood"" into the sustainability of this classic text by Fred Luthans. Importantly, Fred has recently been recognized with: 1) Lifetime Achievement Award in Organizational Behavior; 2) Top 1% of Citation Count of all researchers in the world; and 3) the #1 most cited author in Organizational Behavior textbooks. Finally, this new edition recognizes that even though the theoretical framework and coverage largely remains, the context of organizational behavior is rapidly changing. This new edition reflects the ""New Age"" environment, but still holds to the premise that in today's organizations, success and competitive advantage still comes from the understanding, prediction, and effective management of human resources. With this new edition we invite you to continue the never-ending journey guided by the best organizational behavior theory, research, and application.
