Review
- Professor Dominque Xardel
ESSEC Graduate School of Business
Paris
"Harris, Moran, and Moran have constructed an extremely valuable network of resources for the multicultural manager. They provide new pathways
to competence on a global scale grounded in empirical research and illustrated by fascinating stories and examples throughout. They guide readers towards an accurate awareness of their own cultural identity relative to others, meaningful knowledge about the facts and information necessary to comprehend each cultural context, and appropriate skills to take action and make decisions that will benefit all parties. The authors have more than succeeded in their goal to "understand our differences, celebrate our diversity, and create partnerships of long-term mutual benefit.""
--Paul B. Pedersen, Professor Emeritus, Syracuse University, Visiting
Professor Univ of Hawaii, Dept of Psychology
"This is an excellent book that expertly covers the most important essentials for effective cross-cultural communications and global enterprise. I highly recommend it for anyone who works and travels anywhere in the world."
-- Harry Owens, Jr., MD, MIM, Consultant, International Health and Medical Management, Bend, Oregon, USA
"An outstanding book and mandatory reading for all leaders of teams acting in the global arena. It sharpens sensitivities for cultural differences, dismantles prejudices and helps to avoid common mistakes which can negatively impact business relationships."
- Dr. Thomas Maertins, Head Development Basel, Novartis Animal Health Inc., Switzerland
""Managing Cultural Differences" provides the best in-depth and practical insight for interacting with other cultures that are searching to engage with you."
- Thaddeus J. Crawford, Vice President, Business Development, Direct Alliance Corporation
"If you work with cross-cultural teams in a global context, this expertly written book will become an essential travel companion. It provides insights into cultural differences, helps you become more culturally self-aware, and provides a framework for negotiating the cultural landscapes in which your business and social transactions are conducted."
- Dr. Benjamin J. Broome, Professor, Intercultural Communication, Arizona State University
"When I read this book again, I realized how important it is as a leader and a "citizen of the world" to understand the impact of culture on our lives and global events. In my work as a leader, I experience the need for employees to be culturally literate and skilled in order to perform effectively.
No matter how many times I've read or referred to this book, it feels like I'm reading it for the first time again. I believe this is because I continue to have new cultural experiences either through work, travel, or political events which bring added richness to the concepts presented. As you become more aware of culture, you realize its impact on our lives and world events."
-- Kim Lipshutz, HR Director, Crop Genetics Research, DuPont Agriculture and Nutrition
"This 6th edition of the MCD textbook contains a rich combination of scholarly insights from the literature on the management of cultural differences with extensive examples from contemporary business practice. Instructors who have used previous editions will be delighted with the new materials that bring the text up to date, while those who adopt it for the first time will soon realize why the book has been so useful for the past 24 years."
-- Joseph D'Cruz, Murray B. Koffler Chair in Pharmacy Management, Rotman School of Management and Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
