This well written and engaging book is essential reading for all scholars of cross-cultural management and should be set reading for students of international management. It offers an alternative but necessary approach to the subject and a comprehensive geographic coverage including the often neglected global South. It integrates case studies to illustrate and extract theory about the many facets of managing and organizing across cultures. Importantly, it provides
valuable guidelines for conducting interpretative intercultural research from a research team drawing their experience from their extensive research over thirty years. Overall, a very impressive achievement.
