CURRENT RESEARCHS
The book Navigating Global Business: A Cultural Compass is the first book to offer a comprehensive and rigorous mapping of cultural regions around the world and delineate their managerial consequences at both the macro and micro levels. The book expresses cultural differences between countries in a map of clusters, showing both the roots and correlates of cluster formation and the managerial and business repercussions of operating within, across, and in specific combinations of clusters. The resulting product is a global atlas that provides navigation guidance to a wide spectrum of readers, ranging from the layperson and student to the scholar and globally seasoned executive.
