Studies of national differences in management have largely focused on culture, says Punnett (international business and management, U. of the West Indies-Cave Hill), and though that is
important and she considers it here, she also looks at the impact of a number of other national characteristics, including politics and regulation, history and geography, language and
development, and economic development. Other topics she addresses are motivation, leadership, communication, human resource choices, the expatriate experience, woman, and ethics. She mentions
no date for the first edition, but notes a companion volume, Experiencing International Business and Management, which contains exercises and cases for students. Annotation 穢2009 Book News,
