Global Business Management

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Globalization has a cultural face! This book offers a rich holistic understanding of the multifaceted global business dynamics and first hand accounts of the cultural specificities of each society. The socio-economic forces that mold modern business practices and entrepreneurships around the world are thoroughly explored by the authors.' Teerana Bhongmakapat, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand '...a highly readable book rich in examples and case studies. Of significance are the highly developed chapter cases that offer, in an enjoyable reading style, important insights into current MNC and country international issues. The authors' chapters on service industry issues are particularly exciting and discuss the service sector from the position of OECD nations (being the major part of their GDP) as well as the sector's potential for developing nation's growth/wealth through offshoring. The authors go beyond simply describing international business corporations and organizations and provide historical insights and perspectives that serve to orient the reader to their past and present functions as well as their potential future roles.' Kip Becker, Boston University, USA '...a very useful book for those studying international business or just wanting to read some current examples.' Kathleen Griffiths, RMIT University, Australia 'The new book on global management, Global Business Management: A Cross-Cultural Perspective, by Professors Abel Adekola and Bruno S. Sergi could not be better timed. While many books exist regarding global management from a cross-cultural perspective, the current phase of globalization with its growing numbers of critics, generates a strong public need for more serious attention going into such books. This is such a book.' Transformations in Business & Economics
