About the Authors
  • Navigating Global Business integrates and synthesizes all available country cluster studies into a nested meta-structure accompanied by eco-cultural correlates that distinguish amongst clusters. The broad range of analyses will appeal to researchers and practitioners, seasoned multi-firm executives, those in small firms seeking internationalization, and anyone intrigued by the greater question of human diversity. The book covers key work-related cultural dimensions for much of the world, and includes examples of applications in most business areas. Also exhibited are the correlates of culture, some of which, such as language and religion, speak to the origin of cultural variations in addition to illustrating key variants of the global terrain. Finally, the authors examine how patterns might have changed over time, providing a rigorous and realistic assessment of the fruits of globalization.

    • Uniquely determines cluster boundaries rigorously and empirically, which will assist scholars in research, training, and teaching, as well as equipping practitioners with a refined, rigor-based tool
    • Simultaneously explores multiple ecological and economic correlates, offering readers a comprehensive perspective currently not available in a single source
    • Comprehensively synthesizes and amalgamates all current knowledge in the field, providing readers with a definitive map of country clusters and interrelationships among clusters

It is both exciting and arduous, explaining the pervasive influence of culture on business and work values.' Peter W.
