The Culture for Business Series uses a new logic to look at issues facing business managers and leaders in today’s global, multicultural context. Each book will focus on one key aspect of business management and culture’s essential role in that area.

The series breaks away from the traditional management texts that are overly influenced by Anglo-Saxon research and thinking. While the majority of existing texts tends to focus on knowledge OF cultures, the books in this series are concerned with knowledge FOR cultures by providing a new conceptual framework for dealing with the business implications of culture. As such, the aim of the series is to provide a practical toolkit for managers and leaders by helping them develop a new mindset for working with and across cultures.
