A Cultural Compass

'In a global environment, you cannot afford to fly blind. This book, an essential read for the global executive, lays out the cultural landscape on which international business rests and guides you on how to navigate this terrain.' Leslie H. Wexner, Chairman and CEO, L Brands

'Navigating Global Business: A Cultural Compass reflects more than thirty years of rigorous analysis of published data on cultural similarities and differences, enriched by information from sixty different organizational and managerial dimensions. This is the definitive, go-to sourcebook for any scholar or manager who seeks a deeper understanding of the managerial consequences of culture at macro as well as micro levels.' Wayne F. Cascio, Robert H. Reynolds Chair in Global Leadership and Academic Chair, CU Executive MBA Program, The Business School, University of Colorado, Denver

'This book is much more than the title implies. It is indispensable for global business and those interested in the interrelatedness and conflict among countries. It is monumental in scope because it is a synthesis of the most compelling empirical, large scale studies of culture, leadership, and organizational behavior. It is both exciting and arduous, explaining the pervasive influence of culture on business and work values.' Peter W. Dorfman, Professor Emeritus, New Mexico State University, former President of the Board, GLOBE Foundation for Research and Education
