"This well-conceived collection in global enterprise management covers both the hot research topics and problems that managerial professionals may be confronted with. Perceptive observations, theoretical reflections and plausible solutions from international researchers are integrated into these two leading volumes. Some of the latest technological advances like cloud computing are involved in the study of management, which is quite eye-catching." - Jianli Wu, Professor, Dean of International Business College, South China Normal University, China "This collection of essays highlights issues managers deal with in the global market place. Scholars' cross-disciplinary contributions from over seventeen countries focus on the dynamic challenges of globalization. From strategic tax issues and the confluence of diversity and ethics, to post acquisition strategies, the role of emotional intelligence in global leadership, and the concept of virtuality in globally dispersed teams, these edited volumes contribute to the ongoing scientific inquiry and are a welcome addition to current literature." - Martin Dannenmann, Principal/Director, Heidelberg Hotel Management School, Germany "Managing a global enterprise in a diverse and dynamic environment poses challenges for international managers as they lead their companies through complex and ever-changing global economic, political, legal, technological, and cultural environments. This collection of essays is a useful tool for researchers of international management and practitioners across global industries." - Ilan Alon, Cornell Professor of International Business, Rollins College, USA; Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Emerging Markets
