Inhaltsangabe

Intercultural management is an emerging but increasingly crucial area of study. Essentially, intercultural management concerns itself with work forces that function in different cultural contexts. These differences can be either "external", where an organization operates across national and ethnic cultures, or "internal", where an organization operates across company differences, branches or regions.

Intercultural Management MBA Masterclass is a thorough and accessible guide to the most important concepts and ideas required to formulate and understand intercultural management strategies. Nina Jacob details the fundamental concepts and ideas using the latest research and international case studies. Designed to meet the needs of busy MBA students and practising managers, the book is both academically rigorous and firmly grounded in management practice.

Intercultural Management MBA Masterclass covers all the need-to-know topics, including: organizational structure; communications; core values; strategy; knowledge management; conflict resolution; expatriate management.

Full of questions and discussion topics and the most up-to-date case studies, Intercultural Management MBA Masterclass is a practical and authoritative guide for students and practising managers. The book includes international case studies of: Credit Suisse, Nestlé, BMW, IBM, and the International Red Cross.

Authoritative and academic, yet practical, the MBA Masterclass series is designed to cover the latest developments in management thinking and practice. Covering the core subjects on current MBA programmes and business courses, the series will: accelerate your MBA; develop your knowledge; improve your skills.
