This book has warts, too many generalities and over-reliance on peer-reviewed research that suffers from biases related to what can be measured statistically at the expense of what is not amenable to a mean and standard deviation, but it does have some truly excellent chapters on management and leadership models for multinational corporations and a really great chapter on how to manage political risks, especially with entry into new markets.

International Management: Culture, Strategy, and Behavior

[Macy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not me putting my college textbooks in here to keep up my yearly book count. Reading for school is still reading!

This was a good overview of the considerations of managers that work internationally, and I really liked the real-life examples of successes and pitfalls that managers in real companies have faced by understanding or not appropriately understanding culture.

The last 4 or so chapters started to feel like I was just rereading topics that had already been addressed. I feel like 100 pages could be removed and I still will have learned just as much.

probably the best narrated and most helpful book for my International Management study.

I suppose not many people will read a textbook like this by choice, but on the off-chance you're a teacher wondering whether to set it as required reading: it was pretty average. Frequent spelling and grammatical errors, fundamental misunderstandings of the way several technologies or scientific principles work, and a whole lot of "Free trade agreements are unquestionably awesome, PS we heart Maggie Thatcher."

It did have some reasonably good patches but overall, not recommended.

For a textbook, I thought it was a pretty good read. It was full of insightful information on cultural issues that related to international management. The book did seem to be a little redundant at times, but overall I liked it.

A very thorough coverage for the new global enterprise. Leading in the 21st century requires this read. A great reference book.

Not my favorite international management text. This textbook has some great content but was visually incredibly dry. I prefer 'International Business' by Charles W.L. Hill.
