- zeigt, wie und in welchem Umfang kulturelle Variation die Einführung von e-Technologie am Arbeitsplatz (z. B. in multinationalen Niederlassungen von Unternehmen) beeinflusst

- enthält neue Materialien zum Management von Marketing- und Vertriebsteams über Landesgrenzen hinweg und zu den Folgen kultureller Unterschiede für Manager im Auslandseinsatz

- neue Fallstudien aus dem Nahen Osten, Lateinamerika, Afrika und Asien

- ideales Lehrbuch für MBA-Studiengänge und Lehrverstaltungen im höheren Grundstudium; Anhang mit Leitlinien für eine erfolgreiche Dissertation oder projektbezogene Studienarbeiten
