CambridgeHandbook ofCulture,Organizations, andWorkRabi S. Bhagat &Richard M. Steers (Eds.)It is now widely recognised that countriesaround the world are becoming increasinglyinterconnected, and that both public and privateorganizations are of necessity becomingincreasingly global. As political, legal, andeconomic barriers recede in this environment,cultural barriers emerge as a principalchallenge to organizational survival andsuccess.

In either case, it is of paramountimportance for both managers andorganizational scholars to understand thecultural crosscurrents underlying thesechanges. With contributions from aninternational team of scholars, the Handbook ofCulture, Organizations, and Work reviews,analyses, and integrates available theory andresearch to give the best information possibleconcerning the role of culture and culturaldifferences in organizational dynamics.ISBN: 9781107662902 560pp ` 595.00Business Ethicsand ContinentalPhilosophyMollie Painter-Morland &Rene ten Bos (Eds.)Business ethics has largely been written fromthe perspective of analytical philosophy withvery little attention paid to the work ofcontinental philosophers.
