5.0 out of 5 stars A thoughtprovoking, new look at the global manager, December 20, 2002

By	martha reeves (Chapel Hill, North Carolina) - See all my reviews

Success For The New Global Manager provides insights about managing globally from an in-depth, three year study with 211 managers - and thus offers more than most popular management books on the subject, which tend to be based on scant evidence. I particularly liked the book because of the cultural frameworks it explains and how managers can use them as a "mental map" for adjusting their style and for sensing what is happening around them. The book could be used as an additional text for management and leadership courses, or as simply an interesting read for someone who is beginning to manage globally, whether the individual is embarking on an expatriate assignment or managing people from different cultures without changing his or her location.

Having been an expatriate several years ago, I reflected on my experience in a new way as a result of reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for global managers, June 20, 2002

By	Cal Austin (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I found this book to be very insightful about today's marketplace in general - not necessarily limited to those managers who work internationally. The solid advice offered by these authors will certainly benefit anyone with colleagues from different backgrounds or cultures. The skills described here are essential for managers and their employees who want to remain flexible and educated about the worlds ever changing economy. Highly recommended!
