This defined approach is tantamount to placing three wheels on a car and expecting it to drive smoothly. It cannot be operated without the balance that a fourth one provides, and that required wheel is culture. In the modern era of globalization, managers venturing forth to engage alien societies must be armed with cross-cultural skill sets lest they travel on feet of clay. Most academic texts and encased individual chapters targeting business students are awash with a confusing maze of intersecting theoretical-based value determinants to define and characterize cultural differences. On the other side of the culture subject are multitudes of guidebooks for executives led by the popular series Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands highlighting disparities as one does business in countless singular societies around the world. Both approaches center on memorizing collections of applied principles and/or factual orientations. A more concise, simple, and practical approach is required that cuts through the complicated cultural matrix. 410 0$a2012 digital library. 410 0$aInternational business collection.$x1948-2760 606 $aInternational business enterprises 606 $aIntercultural communication 606 $aGlobalization 610 $aInternational business 610 $aglobalization 610 $acultural anthropology 610 $acultural determinants 610 $acultural dimensions 610 $ainternational trade 610 $acultural diversity 610 $acultural encounters 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 615 0$aIntercultural communication. 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a658.049 700 $aBeer$b Lawrence A$0953706 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779203603321 996 $aEssential concepts of cross-cultural management$93801186 997 $aUNINA
