Recenzii
"A wide range of situations are considered and, unlike so many other writers, Comfort and Franklin consider culture as more than merely 'national' culture." People Management (1st edition review) 20111110 "It is thorough in exploring how differences and difficulties can be handled effectively with the right knowledge, skills and attitudes - examining a number of issues from feedback to conflict and offering techniques and options for a better outcome." CPO Agenda (1st edition) "...busy managers who are not going to sit still for too much theory and pages of academese are the real winners here...It is very practical and includes five detailed case studies that bring the concepts to life in situations almost any manager can relate to.The Mindful International Manager is a lucid, brief, extremely accessible book that presents more useful, practical insights in its 130-plus pages than many books two and three times its length." Craig Storti (1st edition) "An attractive presentation and considerable white space make the book easy to read, particularly for the many of us who have now consume more print in pixels than in ink. The authors, both interculturalists of experience and stature, have taken care to make the book interactive, encouraging us to apply the ideas contained to our own person and our experiences. It frequently asks us to assess the degree to which we find ourselves culturally inclined to or engaged in ranges of behavior, belief, concepts and practices." George Simons www.diversophy.com (1st edition) "...a first-rate book...really useful, even for managers with a lot of international experience." Ludger Opgenhoff, former Marketing Director Europe. DHL Express and Professor of International Management, Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences, Germany (1st edition) "...a very accessible and practical guide that supports managers in their complex international work...remarkable chapters on feedback and conflict." Vincent Merk, former president, Society for Intercultural Education,Training and Research, Europe (1st edition) "...weaves theory and practice together - with the emphasis on the latter - so that both experienced and inexperienced managers can be guided through the many challenges of working internationally." Gabriele Eilert-Ebke, Corporate Learning, Henkel AG & Co.Kgaa, Dusseldorf (1st edition) "Consultant Jeremy Comfort and professor Peter Franklin provide basic pointers on how to become "mindful" of aspects of culture that, if ignored, could derail your business... getAbstract recommends its concise and informative tips to frequent business travelers, expatriate employees, managers leading culturally diverse teams and anyone looking to get a better grip on doing business globally." getAbstract (1st edition)
