Anything that illuminates these\npowershifts is valuable for the fast-moving decision-maker, and\nin this respect Asian versus Western Management Thinking is a\nfirst-rate inquiry into cultural business behaviors. Insular frameworks\nof thinking and action matter less by the second. I'm an\nAnd\/And practitioner and my experience of bridging business\nbetween East and West, and vice versa, suggests we need to\nknow the human distinctions that matter and the harmonies\nthat will matter even more. Between the covers of this book by\nKimio Kase and colleagues, business moves forward.'\n Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide, Saatchi \u0026amp; Saatchi, Lovemarks Company \n\n'Having lived and worked my entire life in various countries\naround the world, I agree with the authors' premise that Asians\nand Westerners often approach business problems from different\nangles. Rather than focusing on differences, I welcome the\nstrength that comes from diversity. As my experience at\nRenault and Nissan has demonstrated, the richest solutions\ncome when ideas are challenged or questioned by people who\nhave a different perspective. This book illustrates the value of\naccepting diverging ideas as a fact of life that can be used to\nenhance the world in which we all live and work.'\n Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Renault-Nissan Alliance \n\n'A most welcome addition to the unbalanced management\nliterature about the 'analytical' West and the 'synthetic' East.\nFor too long the field has been dominated by comparisons of\ncultural value systems which paradoxically tell us precious little\nabout how habits of mind influence management thinking and\npractice in different parts of the world over time. At a time\nwhen the world's economic centre of gravity is visibly shifting\nto Asia, this really is a most timely book.'\n Nigel Holden, Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre for International Business at the University of Leeds, UK\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-08-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780230272934\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9780230306974\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 381\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47444752466060,"sku":"9780230272934","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780230272934.jpg?v=1775918430","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780230272934","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
