This book was published in 2004. I have used it for the past three years in a college course with exactly the same title. It covers the cultural differences of managerial operations in multinational enterprises. The PowerPoint slide is useful for lectures. Many in-class exercises were done using articles from: BusinessWeek, Crains NY Business, Economist (online), Financial Times (online), Forbes and Fortune magazines.

The book will be better if more real-world examples were given on CEO of Ikea, Mittal Steel or News Corporation. Students did the reseach on the CEOs of these firms and reported their final projects. Final projects were done individually or in a group. Students generally like the book except the cost. But the book is cheaper than most of the other international management titles. I would recommend this book to everyone.

From a student who has completed his studies in international business, this text gives a brief idea of various aspects of management, but the presentation is very dry. The index is horrible and some sources are in dire need of updating as they might not even apply anymore. Not worth the money.

I read this book as part of my MBA programme, and have found the material to be quite comprehensive, albeit from a predominantly American view. The author (Deresky) analyzed cultural differences and the different strategies for achieving better results when managing internationally. I recommend it as part of a course being taught at a college or university, as it can be rather academic and dry in presentation. The comprehensive cases are excellent sources of information and provide a glimpse of real life examples of successes and failure in Multi-National Corporations and Joint Ventures.

I do not like the fact that when I purchased this book it is no longer available for resale to the website were i purchased it from. It was not that informatative as i thought it would be.

This book was NOT in the condition as represented, except for the fact that it is used. It was not disclosed that it was a free review book, the cover and back were covered in black electrical type tape co hide the fact that it was a review book. The ad also stated that it had no writing within. I buy ONLY books with NO writing inside. I am VERY dissappointed in this purchase! If the seller were honest I would have NOT paid the higher price for the book!

this was a great method to purchase an otherwise expensive textbook..the delivery did take a little while though

Book condition was good and it was shipped quickly. There were some marks from a previous owner on various pages that were not mentioned in the description, but overall the book is fine.

I bought this book as it is one of the textbooks required for my MBA class and it is EXCELLENT! Very well written. Entertaining. You don't have to get over-saturated on coffee while reading...
Just a tad behind on some facts because of the ever-changing economy. But nonetheless, a fount of extremely useful information for international business.

Very good company to work with. Product match the description, and it was sent promptly.

The books was in good condition and arrived just when I needed it. Good service also, the seller shipped the book the next day and emailed me the tracking number for the book.
