Explores how national cultures differ in the areas of inequality, assertiveness versus modesty, and tolerance for ambiguity
Explains how organizational cultures differ from national cultures—and how they can be managed
Analyzes stereotyping, differences in language, cultural roots of the 2008 economic crisis, and other intercultural dynamics
