‘This is a very well organised, tightly focused and clearly presented book which will be of value to intercultural trainers, teachers of languages for special purposes and international managers dealing with cultural differences. The book deserves careful study both for its theoretical analysis and establishment of an intercultural management cultural framework but also for its case studies and examples of successful and unsuccessful intercultural negotiation and management.’
