For decades, Europe has sought to become more financially
integrated with the United States and thus European legal
institutions, regulatory, governance and accounting practices have
faced pressures to adapt to international competitive markets.
Against this backdrop, European corporate governance systems have
been criticized as being less efficient than the Anglo-American
market based systems. This textbook examines the unique dimensions
and qualities of European corporate governance. Reforms of key
institutions, the doctrine of shareholder value and the seemingly
irresistible growth of CEO power and reward are critically
analyzed. The book brings out the richness of European corporate
governance systems, as well as highlighting historical weaknesses
that will require further work for a sustainable corporate
governance environment in the future. In light of the most severe
financial crisis since the 1930s, this intelligent look at European
corporate governance is a vital textbook for courses on corporate
governance and a great supplementary textbook on a host of
business, management and accounting classes.

All cultures appear to share the belief that they do things
'correctly', while others, until proven otherwise, are assumed to
be ignorant or barbaric. When people from different cultures work
together and cannot take shared meanings for granted, managers face
serious challenges. An individual's parsing of an experience and
its meaning may vary according to several cultural scales -
national, professional, industrial and local. Awareness of cultural
differences and the willingness to view them as a positive are
therefore crucial assets. This edited textbook sets itself apart
from existing cross-cultural management texts by highlighting to
the reader the need to avoid both ethnocentrism and the belief in
the universality of his or her own values and ways of thinking: the
success of international negotiations and intercultural management
depends on such openness and acceptance of real differences. It
encourages the development of 'nomadic intelligence' and the
creative use of a culture's resources, according to a symbolic
anthropology perspective. Through the essays and case studies in
the chapters, readers will become aware of the intercultural
dimension of business activities and better understand how they
affect work. Cross-Cultural Management will help interested parties
- students of business management, international relations and
other disciplines, and business managers and other professionals -
develop their ability to interact, take action and give direction
in an intercultural context.
International Perspectives on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
examines the complex nature of equality, diversity and inclusion in
the world of work through interdisciplinary, comparative and
critical perspectives. Authors are encouraged to provide
cross-national and multi-dimensional insights through comparative
analysis and to bring insights from across the disciplines of
social sciences and humanities. The series elicits critical
scholarship through its focus on structures of inequality in
relations of power in exploring issues of EDI at work.
