The author explains how working in virtual teams in a global, multicultural environment requires a significant amount of organizational and behavioral change of people and organizations. Understanding cultural differences in working styles is important for successful global project management. Major theories of international management, company internationalization, cultural dimensions and distances will be discussed to develop cross-cultural competencies and conflict management styles for international project managers. They will understand modern theories and methods of international management and will be able to apply these to practical project management problems. They understand the benefits and challenges of international cooperation and know how to identify modes of cooperation that are relevant to the needs ofinternational teams. 606 $aElectronic data processing$xManagement 606 $aApplication software 606 $aEconomics 606 $aCulture 606 $aInternational economic integration 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aProject management 606 $aIT Operations 606 $aComputer and Information Systems Applications 606 $aCultural Economics 606 $aEmerging Markets and Globalization 606 $aProject Management 615 0$aElectronic data processing$xManagement. 615 0$aApplication software. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aInternational economic integration. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aProject management. 615 14$aIT Operations. 615 24$aComputer and Information Systems Applications. 615 24$aCultural Economics. 615 24$aEmerging Markets and Globalization. 615 24$aProject Management. 676 $a658.3008 700 $aGronwald$b Klaus-Dieter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0894259 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254842003321 996 $aGlobal Communication and Collaboration$92533480 997 $aUNINA
