‘Together the two volumes provide encyclopedical information on cross-cultural management. . . A must for anyone, every student, practitioner and researcher of cross-cultural management.’
– V. Chandra, Global Business Review

‘The dual volume set Cross-Cultural Management is by any measure a definitive work. In total it contains probably an aggregation of the best writings on culture. Whilst other separate single works stand alone this set serves to provide some of the most definitive analysis undertaken. . . The collection of works is at one level academic and appears that way but at another level is extremely well referenced and easy to access. The effective linking together of definitive studies by world class academics and others provides an excellent repository of much of the definitive research undertaken over the past 40 years. The editors have chosen very carefully material which aligns itself to their overall framework and, indeed, the explanations offered at the beginning of volume one frame the material superbly. Having established a sound theory base in volume one the editors then draw our attention to the side array of cultural differences with which people in management are confronted today. From a human resources management viewpoint, for example, there are no areas left untouched. . . From an applied viewpoint, apart from the excellent research facility afforded by these books, they offer first rate assistance to the educator, to the learning and development professional and to the human resource professional, particularly from an advisory viewpoint. Universities and major global entities will buy these books and senior HR professionals and consulting firms will as well. They are an excellent acquisition to the current material available.’
– Geoffrey N. De Lacy, Australian Human Resource Institute Journal

‘Professors Redding and Stening have done a masterful job of both framing the key areas of cross-cultural management and selecting an excellent mix of classic and modern readings. These two volumes are "must reading" and cover conceptual and empirical articles which have shaped, and are redefining, the field. Students, professors and practitioners will all benefit enormously from the editors’ work and judgement. Thanks for your significant contribution to us.’
– Joseph J. DiStefano, IMD International Institute for Management Development, Lausanne, Switzerland

‘Professors Redding and Stening, as leaders in the field, have done a superb job in putting together some of the key research articles into two volumes, both are a must read for business executives and research scholars interested in cross-cultural management.’
– Tan Chin Tiong, Singapore Management University, Singapore

‘A much needed volume combining the theory and application of cross-cultural management, by two authors who have had teaching and research experiences in every corner of the globe.’
– Chong Ju Choi, Australian National University, Australia
