ReviewsAdvance praise: 'This is a thoroughly updated version of the authors' successful and important guide book for international managers and students. Starting from an inspiring discussion of fundamental international management questions (including globalization, the global mindset, and complexity) the book moves on to an in-depth analysis of key aspects of international management behaviour. Practicable frameworks, striking case studies, and guidance on 'mindfulness' will help readers apply these insights to the multiple situations of interacting with international colleagues, customers and suppliers.' Angelika Zimermann, University of Loughborough, 'No wonder this book is now in its eight edition! Prolific researchers and educators of the highest calibre, Lane and Maznevski navigate the sea of ever-expanding international and cross-cultural management research with steady hands. The veteran authors have given us a book that offers a refreshing combination of strong theoretical foundations, specific real-life examples, and generalizable practical applications for those working in a turbulent global environment. The book covers a diverse set of contemporary topics ranging from individual skills and leadership competencies to responsibly executing sustainable business strategies for optimal company performance and contains a carefully curated set of cases that illustrate and extend the key points advanced by the chapters. It is accessible in terms of writing style but it also challenges its readers to be mindful of the complexity of global management in twenty-first century. This book is not only 'useful', it is downright enjoyable!' Mila Lazarova, Simon Fraser University, CanadaFraser University, CanadaFraser University, CanadaFraser University, Canada
