Product Description

Review


"…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, author of The Art of Crossing Cultures

"The Mindful Intercultural Manger is the perfect handbook for individuals that interact with and manage diverse workforces… provides an easy to understand breakdown of cultural variation in the workplace and provides best practices built soundly on intercultural theories… Comfort and Franklin have created a useful management guide which individuals may use to improve productivity within the work environment by focusing on creating a universal work culture built on the strengths and competencies of employees."  -SIETAR Baltimore

"...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 

"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.com



"...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



"...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

5.0 out of 5 stars Plain-speaking guide on cross-cultural issues for international managers April 29 2011
By Rolf Dobelli - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Globalization and technology are making a small world even smaller. Yet cultural differences still exist. International managers have to recognize those distinctions and harness them to get the most out of their global employees. 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. The authors practice what they preach: Their plainly written guide is free of jargon and accessible to non-native English speakers, and it provides an essential overview of a complex, multifaceted subject. Seasoned international executives may find the book's contents to be old news. Nonetheless, 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.
