“It is a brave new world for international business. A world of global networks and supply chains powered by digital devices, smart machines, robots, and artificial intelligence. Preparing our students for success in this new environment requires a paradigm shift in business education. In addition to teaching technical skills, we must focus on imparting human skills such as contextual understanding, perspective-taking, and intercultural empathy and awareness. In short, we need to educate a new cadre of global citizens. This book, with its focus on cross-cultural communication, talent management, and team building is an invaluable contribution to that effort. Highly recommended!” — David Wernick, PhD, Dept. of International Business, Florida International University, Miami“Over a period of more than twenty years of international travel, I have been privileged to work with people in a wide array of cultural settings, and so I know that the world is alive with many fascinating approaches to and expressions of learning. I gleaned much from reading this new book as it blends conceptual and literature-based chapters with detailed, research-based contributions. In so doing, it stimulates thinking about the value of intercultural learning and provides insights on useful frameworks and research methods that explore facets of cultural identity. Indigenous culture is precious, and the concept of global citizenship must respect this—otherwise traditional knowledge, practices, and ways of thinking and living are at risk of being eroded. This book makes a significant and positive contribution to a broad and rich field of study, and it will be of value to anyone seeking to better understand the impact and implications of cross-cultural exposure on intercultural learning for global citizenship.”—Richard Teare, PhD, Co-founder and President, Global University for Lifelong Learning (GULL) (GULL is a non-profit network movement that works with other organizations to facilitate self-help in low income and subsistence communities and among the low paid in the workplace. http://www.gullonline.org/)
