International and Cross-Cultural Management Studies (eBook, PDF)

A Postcolonial Reading

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on postcolonial theory this text offers a critique of international management. It argues that such disciplines are Western discourses and exhibit historical and current resonances with the vicissitudes of the so called 'colonial project'. The book explores alternative approaches to the question of the 'other' in late global capitalism.
