Book Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to international OB and management. Presented from a global, rather than a North American or Western European perspective, it offers a unique cultural perspective on the roots of organizational behavior around the world. Finally, the book acts as a guide to the changes that are not only reshaping organizations, but the ways we understand them as well. KEY TOPICS A six-part organization covers understanding international organizational behavior, managing it, its larger context, emerging issues, cases, and skills exercises.

For any manager or professional interested in improving knowledge of the role of culture in organizations throughout the world—especially organization development specialists, expatriate managers, and human resource professionals.
