Mastering Cross-Cultural Management: Navigating the Global Workplace

This is a comprehensive edited volume that explores the global workplace through the lens of cross-cultural management. It serves as both a theoretical foundation and a practical guide for students, preparing them to operate effectively in a multicultural world.

Organised into six parts, the book introduces fundamental concept of culture and its impact on management; explores cultural dimensions like individualism versus collectivism, and power distance; develops cultural intelligence with strategies for enhancing awareness, understanding, and respect for cultural differences; delves into common challenges such as managing cross-cultural conflicts and leading virtual teams; and, prepares readers for global leadership roles by fostering skills to create inclusive, productive work environments. Each chapter features case studies and best practices from global companies to illustrate successful management strategies and is structured with features such as learning objectives and discussion questions.

An in-depth approach that combines theory with practice, this text is suitable as recommended reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of human resource management, international business, global leadership and management and organizational behaviour.
