This new edition of International Management secures the position of this successful text as the most comprehensive introduction to global cross-cultural management available. For the Fourth Edition, the text 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.

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.
