It provides critical and in-depth information on globalization, global/glocal leadership, cross-cultural marketing, and cross-cultural negotiation. It also discusses many other topics that are not typically found in the mainstream management textbooks such as diversity management, bias management, cross-cultural motivation strategies, and change management. While most literature in the field is dominated by the static paradigm,that is,culture is fixed, nation equates to culture, and values are binary, this book takes a different approach. It regards national values as a first-best-guess and balances it with an introduction of the dynamic paradigm. This school of thought posits that culture is not static, context is the software of the mind, opposing values coexist, change is constant, and individuals can develop a multicultural mind. A unique feature of this book is the contribution of an interdisciplinary approach. It's the first textbook of cross-cultural management that incorporates latest findings from the emerging discipline of cultural neuroscience and evolutionary biology in the discussion. Such a holistic approach is meant to help readers gain a deeper and broader understanding of the subjectsSummary: Cover; Half Title; Series Information; Title Page; Copyright Page; Dedication; Table of contents; Figures; Tables; Preface; Introduction; Notes; 1 Globalization: Evolutionary Roots and Contemporary Version; 1.1 The Traditional Force of Globalization; 1.1.1 The Nature of Humans; 1.1.1.1 Are Humans Naturally Selfish?; 1.1.1.2 Capitalism is Natural Law; 1.1.1.3 Kin Selection Fosters Cooperation; 1.1.1.4 Reciprocity Fosters Cooperation; 1.1.1.5 Cooperation is Instinctive; 1.1.1.6 Caring Economy; 1.1.2 The Economy of Scale; 1.2 Globalization in Our Modern EraPPN: PPN: 1685639771Package identifier: Produktsigel: BSZ-4-NLEBK-KAUB | ZDB-4-NLEBK
