Chapter 2 in Global Collaboration: Intercultural Experiences and Learning, 2012, pp 15-36 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Today’s global business environment requires that organizations increasingly consider the context in which management must function. While economics, politics and technology may define the playing field of international management, it is a game of cross-cultural interactions that is being played (Thomas, 2008). Cross-cultural management research involves both international comparative research and intercultural research in the context of multinational organizations. In this introductory chapter, I divide the overall discussion of cross-cultural management into three domains. First, I discuss the current theory and methods issues confronting cross-cultural management research. Second, I turn attention to the links between culturally different individuals and their organizations. Finally, I present cross-cultural aspects of multinational organization processes and structures.
