Summary:	"The vast diversity of global cultures within which businesses operate makes it essential that those who run them design their operations specific to cultural geographies. 'Culture in Global Businesses' is particularly important at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has brought global cultures into often head-on conflict making it difficult for corporations to operate with just one fixed set of ideas for corporate governance. This book is a valuable resource to businesses grappling with often diametrically opposite cultural sensibilities, written by a variety of authors who offer remarkable guidance." -- Mayank Chhaya, Journalist and Writer, and Editor of Bharat FM News Radio, Author of Dalai Lama: Man, Monk, Mystic.
