Edward Elgar Publishing Handbook of Cross-Cultural Management

This comprehensive Handbook explores the multifaceted ways in which cultural dynamics shape human interactions in an era defined by globalization and interconnectedness. Leading scholars examine how cultural nuances permeate every aspect of our professional and personal lives on an individual level and within teams, organizations, industries, and countries. Drawing on psychology, economics and sociology, this Handbook is enriched by a variety of methodologies such as quantitative analyses, ethnographic studies, literature reviews, conceptual analysis, and case-based studies. Chapters examine key topics including migration and expatriation, leadership, teamwork and cultural intelligence, organization and industry-specific cross-cultural insights and societal dynamics. The robust and nuanced findings equip practitioners with tools to navigate challenges and harness potential in cross-cultural workplaces and professional environments. The Handbook advocates for future research into the long-term impacts of tailored support systems on integration, the evolution of cultural identity in response to migration, and global crisis management. An essential guide for students and academics in diversity and management and human resource management, the Handbook of Cross-Cultural Management is also a valuable toolkit for practitioners and policymakers involved in managing the evolving cultural landscape of international business.
