Review "Synthesizing knowledge drawn from several disciplines, the authors share exemplary pedagogical techniques suited to audiences in all types of organizational settings. Although written from multiple perspectives and addressing a wide range of topics, the chapters flow naturally. As this volume was created in the spirit of sharing, we as readers become engaged in a conversation about how to best teach cross-cultural management and how to promote better understanding in intercultural encounters. While Crossing Cultures is a useful reference for educators and trainers and is directed toward international management education, anyone involved in the intercultural field will find it to be a valuable resource."--International Journal of Intercultural Relations, 30 (2006) About the Author Nakiye Avdan Boyacigiller is Dean of the Graduate School of Management at Sabanci University, USA.
