Recommendation
Cultural dynamics can “enable or derail” companies, so firms wishing to expand beyond their national borders must understand and adapt to different cultures. International headhunter Kai Hammerich and communications expert Richard D. Lewis discuss and dissect the cultural blindness in which most organizations operate. The authors provide case studies of global companies to illustrate how national traits affect organizational lifecycle stages. Though academic in tone, this study provides crucial insights into different regional and national cultures, while covering France, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Great Britain and the United States in greater detail. getAbstract recommends this astute guide to executives and managers within global organizations, as well as to international business travelers.
