Rezensionen

This fresh edition of a classic is very welcome. I have used this book in my postgraduate teaching for many years. It offers deep theoretical insights in, and empirical evidence for, how culture and institutions are interlinked with the spread of 'best global practices', and why diversity persists in managing and organizing people across societal borders.

The study of the multinational enterprise is an enormous field of study that has developed over the last half century and more. Summarizing and distilling this vast body of work into a single volume is no easy task. However, Noorderhaven, Koen,

and Sorge have risen to the challenge and produced a magnificent overview of the field. It is broad in its coverage, touching on virtually every important research advance and pursuing the practical implications for practitioners. It is also deep, in that it summarizes decades of academic debate and discourse into a few pithy pages. I highly recommend this work to the student of both international management and international business.

The third edition of this leading textbook on comparative international management has been thoroughly updated to take account of new research and changes in the international business environment. There is also a very useful new chapter integrating the different approaches considered in the book, an expanded section on changes in East Asia, particularly China, and a brief analysis of the business systems across Asia. It will be particularly useful for students on advanced undergraduate programmes and postgraduate courses, as well as scholars new to the area.
