Written for students and others wishing to do international and cross-cultural research in business and management, this book provides an accessible introduction to the major principles and practices. A cross-cultural perspective has become vital to most contemporary management research. The increasingly global business environment has led to both a greater practical need for international management research and a questioning of whether management science follows universal rules. This book addresses the particular characteristics of international management research, including the important role of culture. A key introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the background, major issues and different approaches to international management research. The second chapter offers a typology of research designs in international management, and shows the role culture plays in such designs. The theories and paradigms that serve international and cross-cultural management research are examined in the third chapter. Chapter four examines and defines culture, its process and components. The final chapter pulls the describing arguments together to show how the construct of culture can be used in international management research. Throughout, the author provides numerous illustrative examples from key empirical studies.

Most researchers in management retain a primary focus on their specialist topic and neglect the question of whether broader cultural factors impinge upon the way in which their topic finds expression in different parts of the world. Current trends toward the globalization of business render this position increasingly untenable. The Handbook of Cross-Cultural Management Research is the first reference that draws together current cross-national studies conducted within specific management fields and relates them to the conceptual frameworks that have emerged from studies with a more explicit cross-cultural focus.

Now called Cross-Cultural Management to more clearly reflect the content, the Second Edition has been refined to build on the strength of the earlier edition for a stronger emphasis on understanding of the most current research on culture in organizational settings. The text examines cross-cultural management issues from a psychological or behavioural perspective. It focuses on the interactions of people from different cultures in organizational settings and helps the reader gain an understanding of the effect of culture that can be applied to a wide variety of cross-cultural interactions in various organizational contexts.

Dieses Buch von Stefan Remhof bietet, basierend auf empirischen Studien, einen umfassenden Einblick, wie motivationale Faktoren, die Persönlichkeit sowie Auslandserfahrung, Netzwerke und Fremdsprachenkenntnisse die Absicht zur Arbeit im Ausland beeinflussen. Der Autor zeigt, dass die Bereitschaft zur Tätigkeit im Ausland gering ausgeprägt ist, auch wenn sich die dadurch gewonnene Erfahrung positiv auf die persönliche Karriere auswirken kann. Vielmehr ist die Zeit im Ausland mit einer großen Unsicherheit verbunden und wird als persönliche Belastung wahrgenommen. Für Unternehmen und Expatriaten hängt der Erfolg einer Auslandsentsendung von zahlreichen motivationalen und persönlichen Einflussfaktoren der Mitarbeiter ab.

Readings and Cases in International Management: A Cross-Cultural Perspective is a compilation of contemporary readings and case studies that focus on managing global organizations. Intended as a companion to editor David C. Thomas' Essentials of International Management: A Cross-Cultural Perspective (SAGE, 2001), great care has been taken to select readings that do not duplicate, but supplement, material typically contained in texts on this topic. The readings and cases in this book are organized around three major themes: the basis for understanding the influence of culture on international management, the key roles that international managers play, and the important challenges that these managers face.
