Features: When globalization has become the most discussed topic in the business world, an increasing number of corporate organizations are realizing the need for managers who can work in an international competitive environment. Unfortunately, many businesses and organizations do not know how to select and develop individuals to take on this complex responsibility. This book, from the Center for Creative Leadership, ranked in a survey on leadership education by Business Week in the United States, will tell us how to do it. Through vivid case studies, the book illustrates the four essential skills that new global managers (those who manage across regions, countries, and cultures) need to succeed in this new reality, as well as how managers should identify and develop these skills and apply them in a broader global environment. This book holds significant theoretical guidance for entrepreneurs and senior corporate managers, especially providing rich practical experience and skills for those who intend to expand into global business and manage multinational corporations or departments. It is also suitable as a reference book for college and university teachers in international business management, MBAs, graduate students, and undergraduates.
