Critical Acclaim
‘This is a very well organised, tightly focused and clearly presented book which will be of value to intercultural trainers, teachers of languages for special purposes and international managers dealing with cultural differences. The book deserves careful study both for its theoretical analysis and establishment of an intercultural management cultural framework but also for its case studies and examples of successful and unsuccessful intercultural negotiation and management.’
– Peter McGee, Training, Language and Culture

‘This book not only provides a comprehensive overview of relevant topics of the field of intercultural management, but also provides helpful advice about how to bridge cultural differences.’
– Sonja A. Sackmann, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Germany
