This textbook explores the reasons for intercultural differences and
their effects on the behavior of individuals and organizations within
the context of management. The text embraces the presence of ambiguity
and complexity and encourages critical thinking when it comes to
intercultural relations in order to avoid ethnocentrism, stereotyping
and prejudice, as well as overly simplistic solutions. Integrating
findings from management, but also the humanities and social sciences,
as well as politics and popular culture, intercultural management is
understood as a phenomenon that transcends disciplinary boundaries and
includes questions around identity constructions, power relations, and
ethics. This makes intercultural management a fascinating and
rewarding subject to study. Throughout, the author encourages an
analytical approach to intercultural management built upon strong
methodological foundations, and draws on examples from a wide range of
different contexts and cultures to help reflectively translate
research and concepts into practice in a way that is lively and
engaging. This textbook is essential reading for students taking
university courses related to intercultural management. Lecturers can
visit the companion website to access a Teaching Guide and PowerPoint
slides that can be adapted and edited to suit teaching needs. Dirk
Holtbrügge is Professor of International Management at the School of
Business, Economics and Society, Friedrich-Alexander-University
