Richard Mead's International Management reminds us that in the 21st century our ability to manage and lead is predicated on an awareness of the impact of cultural dynamics on institutions. He drives home the point that effective and appropriate management makes a difference to the well-being of all humankind. Mead's presentation of concepts and practical insights are excellent and take readers beyond a superficial understanding. Allan Bird, University of Missouri-St Louis
