The Cultural Mindset: Managing People Across Cultures by Afsaneh Nahavandi
Cross-Cultural Management: The Cultural Mindset is based on Dr. Nahavandi's years of teaching, researching, and consulting with many businesses on cross-cultural issues. Built around a think-know-do model, the text enables readers to adopt a cultural mindset that will effectively guide their thinking and behavior as future managers. By focusing on culture in general, the book addresses both national cultural issues and diversity issues. The key underlying theme for both topics is how culture, national or group-related, impacts our perspective - what we value, how we think, how we behave, and how we manage people effectively.
