Management Research, International Business, and National Culture Evaluating Hofstede and GLOBE

"In the field of business and management, culture has been a key part of international comparisons for the last half century and has added much to our knowledge of cross-national differences and similarities. This book brings to the fore the implications of how the measurement of culture has evolved and how that has influenced our understanding of its relevance both to academics and practitioners." Timothy M. Devinney, Chair and Professor of International Business, Alliance Manchester Business School, UK

"With a challenge to the widely cited Hofstede and GLOBE culture models, Venaik, Brewer, and Midgley present culture archetypes as an alternative for culture-related theorising and for practitioner and policy application. Elucidating the ecological fallacy and other shortcomings with the Hofstede and GLOBE studies, this is an invaluable research monograph." Peter W. Liesch, Professor of International Business, University of Queensland Business School, Australia

"Growing contacts among peoples of different backgrounds across and within countries present unprecedented opportunities yet challenges to management researchers in the Twenty-first Century. Venaik, Brewer, and Midgley's book titled, Management Research, International Business, and National Culture: Evaluating Hofstede and GLOBE, provides useful insights for all who seek to better understand these dynamics and processes to bring about win-win outcomes." Rosalie L. Tung, The Ming & Stella Wong Professor of International Business, Simon Fraser University (Canada)
