This new edition of International Management secures the position of

has been extensively revised and updated, with the addition of more
student exercises, assignments, exam questions, and new material on the
Middle East. As in previous editions of this popular text, students
will find an invaluable guide to key management theories, linked to
practical examples from the US, Europe, Asia, and, in this edition,
from other regions.
Summary: The Bible for International Managers
Rating: 5
Richard Mead has achieved a rare victory: he has written a book
which covers both western and eastern business culture thoroughly,
objectively and fairly. He never indicates a preference for either
culture, yet is able to present the pros and cons of both with equal
clarity. He covers all leading international management cultural theory
(Hofstede, Trompenaars, Hall, et. al), provides thought-provoking and
original cases for analysis and discussion, and even has a helpful
summary & quiz section at the end of each chapter. Part IV, Making
the Strategy Work, HRM Issues, offers a clear and unbiased look at
expatriation and training, both from the HR and from the expatriate
manager's perspectives. Having lived and worked for two decades in
Asia, this reviewer can attest to the veracity of the many sections on
Asian business culture...and as an intercultural management trainer, to
the depth and detail of the cross-cultural theory explained so
completely, and yet in a way which every expatriate manager can grasp
at once. This is an MBA-in-a-book....don't leave home without it.
