Successful Cross- Cultural Management: A Guide for International Managers Kindle Edition

by Parissa Haghirian (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 2 ratings
Globalization and unlimited connectedness to all places in the world give
us the impression that our world is growing smaller and smaller. We can
get products from all over the world any time, easily communicate with
people on the other side of the planet with just a mouse click, and travel
almost anywhere within a day or two.
Despite increasing connectivity and globalization, cultural differences
remain. The more connected and international we become the more differences
between cultures—views, values, and communication styles—
become evident. International managers are supposed to succeed in an
arena where rules are very different and difficult to understand, which
often are not obvious.
This book explains how we all have our own cultural programs and
how these programs influence our management activities. It discusses
which cross-cultural experiences managers have, how they react to
stress and misunderstandings during these encounters, and which strategies
they can develop to successfully reach their goals. It covers all aspects
of cross-cultural management such as cross-cultural negotiations,
conflict, and leadership and explains how to deal with culture shock and
which training methods to choose when preparing employees for an international
assignment. Mini case studies and cross-cultural incidents
present vivid examples of the international workplace and its cultural
challenges. The book finally gives recommendations for international
managers on how to prepare themselves for a cross-cultural management
future.

    The author states that there would be many missed opportunities if companies did not recognize the importance of cross-cultural management and lays out how a company can tackle cross-cultural management issues methodically.

    What she is saying sounds correct, but the book lacks concrete examples and the whole topic sounds “soft”.
