Advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in international business, international management and crosscultural management, and all concerned with the transfer of knowledge in the global economy. It will also be a valuable source of concepts and ideas to crosscultural trainers and to various categories of practitioners within knowledge management and international human resource management. This book forges a break with the concept of culture that has dominated management thinking, education, and research for several decades. Culture, rather than being presented as a source of difference and antagonism, is presented as a form of organisational knowledge that can be converted into a resource for underpinning core competence. This perspective based on extensive research into the operations of four major international corporations, challenges traditional thinking by contending that crosscultural management is a form of knowledge management. Key to this text are the four global case companies contrasting experiences, presented as insightful case studies about rarely observed aspects of firms crosscultural communication behaviour.
