International Organizational Behavior

This perfect resource is grounded in solid research, explaining exactly what every manager/leader needs to succeed in other countries. Its deliberate focus on people, culture, and the complexities that accompany living and working in another country are carefully presented through engaging material for students. It avoids pitfalls, like oversimplifying country culture, and doesn't apply a 'one size fits all' approach. Instead, the book pulls readers out of their comfort zones to get them comfortable with the ambiguity and change that come with being a successful international manager. Eileen C. Sherman, Alverno College, USA This outstanding publication is the premier textbook on the subject of international organizational behavior. It does an outstanding job of integrating the most current evidence-based research on such topics as cross-cultural negotiations, leadership and motivation in a multicultural environment, and managing ethics in the international employment relationship. It is the perfect text for Executive Education programs, MBA classes, and advanced undergraduate management classes. Douglas M. McCabe, Georgetown University, USA McFarlin and Sweeney's text is chock full of examples of compelling cross-cultural challenges managers in multinational companies face. This text fits my courses well because it illustrates a broad range of classic and current theories with practical, relevant, and engaging examples. Stuart D. Sidle, University of New Haven, USA
