Overview

This new book explores the recent issue of cross-cultural management from both theoretical and research perspectives. It considers the impact of knowledge, experience, and exposure of cross-cultural differences in developing a global viewpoint and citizenship in the corporate workplace. The volume throws light on the emerging concepts of building global citizens who are willing to think beyond boundaries of place, identity, and category, and to recognize all human beings as their equals while respecting humanity’s inherent diversity. The effective use of cross-cultural teams can provide a source of experience and innovative thinking to enhance the competitive position of organizations. However, cultural differences can interfere with the successful completion of goals in today’s multicultural global business community. To achieve project goals and avoid cultural misunderstandings, managers should be culturally sensitive and promote creativity and motivation through flexible leadership. The chapter authors in this volume look at these challenges by reviewing and conducting empirical studies, roundtables, and focus discussions. The volume tackles a variety of issues, including enterprise resource planning (ERP), talent management, differences in individual work performances, differences in leadership styles, virtual work relationships, and much more. It looks at the challenges in establishing crosscultural workplaces, such as the overcoming significant barriers in multi-cultural project communications and motivating project team members.

Reviews

It is a brave new world for international business. A world of global networks and supply chains powered by digital devices, smart machines, robots, and artificial intelligence. Preparing our students for success in this new environment requires a paradigm shift in business education. In addition to teaching technical skills, we must focus on imparting human skills such as contextual understanding, perspective-taking, and intercultural empathy and awareness. In short, we need to educate a new cadre of global citizens. This book, with its focus on cross-cultural communication, talent management, and team building is an invaluable contribution to that effort. Highly recommended! - David Wernick, PhD, Dept. of International Business, Florida International University, Miami
