Summary:Drawing on thirty years of empirical research, this book reveals the diversity of managerial practices that may be observed throughout the world, even in places where companies are using management methods that appear identical. Using data from over fifty countries, it presents a new theoretical approach to cultural diversity whereby culture is considered a filter through which people understand reality and give it meaning. This interpretative perspective reminds us that interactions within organisational contexts are primarily social, and thus conceived differently from one culture to another. This is fundamental to our understanding of the challenges of globalisation and the powerful forces that foster the international homogenisation of management practices.

This is fundamental to our understanding of the challenges of globalization and the powerful forces that foster the international homogenization of management practices.<br> <br> Leadership, decision-making, customer relations, ethics and corporate social responsibility, and interpersonal and corporate communication are just some aspects of management underpinned and influenced by cultural variation. In response to this intellectual and practical challenge this book provides methodological guidelines to enable researchers and practitioners to engage in an alternative approach to cross-cultural management.<br>
