Rigorously revised, the ninth edition of this successful, established textbook is ideal for current and future global leaders who want to lead international businesses sustainably and with impact. Combining a wealth of theoretical knowledge with real-world situations from diverse cultures, countries and industries, the book brings key concepts to life, while offering tools and strategies for putting them into practice. Reflecting global trends, this new edition features a greater focus on culture, virtual teams, leadership paradoxes, digital transformations, and a mindset-centered approach to dynamic change. All-new examples and cases contribute to bringing the book completely up to date, while reflection questions and a rich suite of online teaching resources (including suggested student exercises and classroom activities, teaching notes, further resources, and access to Aperian Globesmart), make this an essential tool for developing mindful, global leaders.
