McFarlin and Sweeney provide students with an accessible, application-oriented approach to international management, focusing on key challenges including motivation, leadership, and communication across cultural boundaries. The book gives students a global perspective on the process of hiring, training, and developing employees, as well as strategic decision making in relation to foreign markets. Questions, case studies, examples of creative problem solving, and testimonials from real-world managers operating in the international arena are just a few of the tactics McFarlin and Sweeney use to help students begin to think about applied theory on a global level.

Clear, direct writing characterizes this practical introduction to successful international management. McFarlin and Sweeney provide an accessible, application-oriented approach to key challenges—including how to motivate, lead, and communicate with people across different countries and cultures. In addition, International Management provides students with a global perspective on the process of hiring, training, and developing employees, as well as strategic decision making in relation to foreign markets.
Each chapter opens and closes with activities that require students to practice applying what they learn: International Challenge sections appear at the beginning and pose specific problems for students to resolve, and Up to the Challenge? features at the end present analytical exercises related to the chapter's case. The authors' strong emphasis on action-based learning continues with International Development exercises that promote self-assessment so that students can draw personal insights and develop pertinent skills. Likewise, From Theory to Practice exercises outline projects often completed outside of class—asking students to either practice implementing chapter concepts or assess international firms in the real world.

Leadership. The word conjures up images of dynamic action, inspiring vision and a highly motivated workforce. The great leaders of commerce are the idols of our time. But what of the Demon Leader, the destructive force, the bully in the boardroom? We've heard a lot about positive leadership but what about the dark side -- the narcissistic leader?
Despite the widespread experience of employees who have tolerated egotistical bosses, there are few resources to help people survive and succeed in spite of a narcissistic leader.
House of Mirrors is a brilliant -- and sometimes disturbing -- analysis of the psyche of these leaders and the devastating -- and often hidden -- effect they can have on both individual and organizational performance. Based on in-depth research and more than 500 first hand-interviews, the authors give us: -- Profiles of some of the world's best known corporate figures and their destructive behavior: Michael Eisner, Al Dunlap, Robert Allen, Gilbert Amelio and others -- Examples of the few narcissistic leaders who've had a positive effect -- Action steps and recommendations for what you can do about the narcissistic leaders negative, undermining behavior -- Eye-opening stories about the unbelievable conduct of egotistical, self serving bosses
