Summary Conclusions. 330 $a'This original book addresses the important issue of cultural distance and provides insights for the sustainable development of both the green technology industry and international collaboration. It does so with a multidisciplinary perspective and uses the cases of two highly relevant regions. It is a must-read for scholars and practitioners interested in the role of culture in Sino-European relations and green technology.? ?Vasyl Taras, Associate Professor, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA This book uses the concepts of both cultural and psychic distance to analyse managers? perceptions in international business settings, with a specific focus on European and Chinese ventures in the green technology industry. The key concept of ?distance? refers to the variations of cultures, languages, business practices, policies and regulations that distinguish different countries. Offering empirical case studies and theoretical refinements on how scholars canconceptualise and operationalise the psychic distance construct, the authors provide a comprehensive examination of European foreign direct investment (FDI) to China and Chinese FDI to Europe. Contributing to the Marie Curie scheme, Partnering Opportunities between Europe and China in the Renewable Energy and Environmental iNdustries (POREEN), this book is an invaluable read for managers and practitioners. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aDiversity in the workplace 606 $aBusiness 606 $aAsia 606 $aStrategic planning 606 $aLeadership 606 $aProject management 606 $aOperations research 606 $aCross-Cultural Management 606 $aAsian Business 606 $aBusiness Strategy and Leadership 606 $aProject Management 606 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 615 0$aDiversity in the workplace. 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aAsia. 615 0$aStrategic planning. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aProject management. 615 0$aOperations research. 615 14$aCross-Cultural Management. 615 24$aAsian Business. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy and Leadership. 615 24$aProject Management. 615 24$aOperations Research and Decision Theory. 676 $a650 700 $aVaccarini$b Katiuscia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0894159 702 $aSpigarelli$b Francesca$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aTavoletti$b Ernesto$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLattemann$b Christoph$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254921403321 996 $aCultural Distance in International Ventures$91997336 997 $aUNINA
