Rezensionen

'This is a thoroughly updated version of the authors' successful and important guide book for international managers and students. Starting from an inspiring discussion of fundamental international management questions (including globalization, the global mindset, and complexity) the book moves on to an in-depth analysis of key aspects of international management behaviour. Practicable frameworks, striking case studies, and guidance on 'mindfulness' will help readers apply these insights to the multiple situations of interacting with international colleagues, customers and suppliers.'
