Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume provides a source of international management research. Academics and managers agree that managers in the 1990s and the 21st century will depend on an understanding of the international dimensions of management to be effective. This internationalization of business has necessarily resulted in internationalization of research in the management field. This book provides a summary of the major streams of research, the methodologies commonly used in research, and directions for future research. Academics, students and all people interested in international management should find this book useful. The book is divided into three parts. Part One focuses on methodology, including chapters on model building, surveys, qualitative and ethnographic research, and experiments. This section concludes with a chapter on adapting ethics to fit the cultural environment. Part two focuses on topic issues in international management research, including chapters on culture, negotiations, leadership, human resource management, mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures. Part three is entitled "Where are we?"
, and considers contrasts in research approaches, locations where little research has been done, the management of cross-cultural research teams and future directions for research. This section, and the book, concludes with a forward-looking chapter on global management in the 21st century.
