Intercultural management issues
The reviewed book contains a discussion on the sources of barriers in management in a
cross-cultural environment.
It also includes a presentation of chosen aspects of organisational behaviours that are
of vital importance from the angle of a possible occurrence of cultural differences. These
issues are undoubtedly practical and reflect evidence of cultural differences existing in
the business reality. Choosing the right and proper problems for the discussion in the
book must have been a very serious matter, particularly that the subject is of such a
complex nature and there is a great spectrum of available issues to portray. I think that
the authors solved this dilemma in a perfect manner and their proposition of the discussed
topics is adequate. There one can find such fundamental issues in the context of
organisational behaviour in the table of contents like communication and leadership as
well as references to the contemporary management concepts such as knowledge management,
project management or corporate social responsibility. There is no doubt that each of
these areas is of tremendous significance for business and at the same time is affected by
culturally contingent attitudes and behaviours of organisational members.
