"This is an extremely timely book. The issue of how culture impacts human resource management processes and procedures could not be more critical for today's increasingly multi-cultural organizations. The book covers a wide range of topics in this arena and provides many important suggestions to academic researchers and HR professionals for advancing both our scientific knowledge and the quality of our day-to-day practices. Overall, a significant, highly interesting, and - to repeat - timely volume." - Lyman W. Porter, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Irvine"The relative dearth of volumes in this specific area coupled with the increasing interest in managing cultural styles makes this an important new book." - Jeffery Sanchez-Burks, University of Michigan
