  This title offers up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of cross-cultural social relations in the work setting, and provides an evaluation of existing and emerging frameworks for understanding cross-cultural differences. The book's international scope will be strengthened through the use of new case studies and examples taken from all regions of the world. The changes for the 2nd edition include: greater stress on emerging issues and frameworks underlying the study of culture - for example the role of language, diversity management and the concept of identity; greater emphasis on cross-cultural negotiation and intercultural team-building; more focus on the 'Stress and Coping Approach'; and, more corporate examples to stress the topicality of the subject area. The new learning features include: 'applying theory to practice' boxes and review questions; improved web site with annotated web links and self- assessment exercises for students; and, PowerPoint slides, class exercises and additional case studies for lecturers.

  This proposed textbook will offer up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of cross-cultural social relations in the work setting. The text will provide an evaluation of existing frameworks for understanding cross-cultural differences as they affect workplace behaviour and the management of people. The book will also examine the inter-cultural competencies needed by managers dealing with employees from different cultural backgrounds and point to implications of an awareness of cultural difference for HRM strategies and policies. An important theme of the book will lie in its assessment of the relative contribution of cultural and non-cultural factors to an understanding of social processes at work. The authors aim to enhance the value of the book by referring to research findings in relevant areas. They also, intend that the book be truly international in scope with case studies and other examples taken from all regions of the world.
