"The third edition of this popular textbook has been thoroughly expanded and updated throughout to explore the latest approaches to cross-cultural management, presenting strategies and tactics for managing international assignments and global teams. With a clear emphasis on learning and development, this new edition introduces a global management model, along with enhanced 'Applications' and 'Manager's Notebooks', to encourage students to acquire skills in multicultural competence that will be highly valued by their future employers.
