With all the proliferation of cheap discussions of culture as being the driver or killer of business success that's been going around in the past few years, or the other cheap argument of universalisation of culture through globalisation, Profs. Mead and Andrews provide a refreshingly thorough, detailed and balanced analysis of the relationship between culture and business performance and behaviour. A concise yet detailed and well structured investigation into cultural influences on business practices and what they mean for the manager of international organisations. I specially enjoyed the critical and unassuming view of the relationship between globalisation and culture, which was refreshing and illustrative. All in all, a great book.
