Cases in International Organizational Behavior

Drawing on a diverse collection of examples from major organizations around the world, Cases in International Organizational Behavior examines the complexity of managing people across boarders. The unique "multi–functional" nature of the case selected is designed to focus attention on the decision–making processes involved in international management.
The cases deal with issues such as conflict arising through cross–cultural interaction; the differing worldwide perception and value of business ethics; the importance of understanding local organizational designs; and how appropriate leadership, motivation, and communication are key to business success. Not only is Cases in International Organizational Behavior an ideal supplement to organizational behavior and international management courses, it also offers invaluable insights to practitioners who need to excel in the workplace.
