International Organizational Behavior: Transcending Borders and Cultures
 "When I select textbooks for my international business courses, I am looking for texts that are up-to-date, relevant, and practical. McFarlin and Sweeney have delivered home runs on all three areas. The book is chock full of updated information including easy-to-understand summaries of new research into cultural differences and international management. More classical theories such as Hofstede’s cultural framework are brought to life with modern applications to rapidly changing cultures in emerging markets. This book doesn’t claim to provide solutions to every international organizational behavior problem, but will definitely provide the business professional with the necessary tools to fully understand the context of what they are facing. Students and practitioners alike will find tremendous value in McFarlin and Sweeney’s explanation of cultures, language, market entry, negotiation, and management. I can’t recommend this textbook highly enough."-- Terence Lau, Associate Professor, Director, International Business, University of Dayton "International Organizational Behavior: Transcending Borders and Cultures byDean McFarlinandPaul Sweeneybuilds on previous work by the authors and state-of-the-art research to provide an invaluable guide to anyone interested in managing in the international arena.
