Praise / Awards

  • "Betty Jane Punnett and Oded Shenkar, two of the top researchers in their field, have written an extremely valuable and well-organized reference book -- a must-read for students of international management as well as professionals in the field."
    --David Ricks, University of Missouri-St. Louis
  • "Why should anyone consider reading this book? Quite simply, it offers an even treatment of issues like globalization and all its managerial challenges. These stellar researchers take a compelling look at culture, alliances, IHRM, and M&A, and they also take to task the research methodology itself. It's about time someone did it! This concise and highly readable treatment of issues in International Management Research is a must-read for the serious IM scholar and has many implications for the global manager. In short, two thumbs up for Punnett and Shenkar!"
    --Mary Ann Von Glinow, Florida International University
