Facets of Managing in Cross-Cultural Diversity

Opis produktu

Diversity and multiculturalism have become pervasive in today’s organizations. Facets of Managing in Cross-Cultural Diversity is a timely publication critically exploring the phenomenon of managing in cross-cultural diversity. This book offers important insights on real issues and studies into management in a cross-cultural, global environment, and uncovers the issues from macro and group-individual perspectives. Unlike most publications on diversity which are limited to a single country’s experience, this book brings together authors who write about and study workplace diversity in the context of different countries and cultures.
