International and Cross-Cultural Management Studies: A Postcolonial Reading

Ebook Free Download | International and Cross-Cultural Management Studies: A Postcolonial Reading | This book is written in such a way as to be primarily targeted to academic research and teaching programs. Jack and Westwood examine the literature and textbooks of the field, author by author and often book by book in historically sequential clusters to identify persistent assumptions about cross-cultural managerial science, methodology, pedagogy, and illustrate how they are disseminated. The origins of methodology, they point out, can often be related to the need for dominance, both racial and political in the past, and may remain shaped by contexts of slavery and resource exploitation even in the present.

The book itself is itself a cause for reflection on the intercultural resources we apply and reading it causes us to contextualize what we have accumulated in our learning and reading, itself an important step in the right direction. Acronym management is a challenge to perusing today's professional books, including this one, and, while the authors fail to analyze the degree to which the currency of acronyms participates in representational essentialism, they do mercifully provide the reader with a two page listing of them at the outset of the book. In short, a challenging read that treats its material with insight and respect while begging for growth and change in the field of cross-cultural management studies.
