About this book
International Management and Intercultural Communication consists of cases of direct observation and personal involvement in a wide variety of communication challenges in international management settings; and discusses them in terms of management theories. The cases explore interactions across national cultures and regional boundaries, demonstrating both traditional and unusual approaches to problems that sooner or later are likely to challenge all managers who operate internationally.
The book is presented in two volumes. Volume 1 contains case studies concerning different aspects of international management and intercultural communication in business, marketing and politics. Volume 2 deals with cases of international management in social and educational settings.

Reviews
“Book explores and describes various dilemmas facing the managers and employees of organisations that operate across national and cultural boundaries. … authorial bag of academics, practitioners, and cross-cultural specialists, while unusual, may prove to be the book’s strength. … editor puts the cases descriptive information only after a longish explanation of the cases’ key issues and problems.” (William C. Frederick, wiiliamcfrederick.com, January, 2016)
