'Career Dynamics in a Global World takes on the difficult, but invaluable, task of unpacking the complex topic of career development from both Western and South Asian perspectives. For anyone who is passionate about building a more human-centred future world of work, this book is a vital must-read in helping to understand individual and cultural-drivers with regards to career development in a connected and globalised world.'--Leena Nair, Chief HR Officer, Unilever, UK'Insight into contemporary careers in a global world is likely to take a giant leap forward with the publication of this timely book. The editors have done a masterful job assembling pairs of fascinating chapters that peer deeply into critical topics from Western and Indian perspectives.'--Jeffrey H. Greenhaus, Drexel University, US'This book fills an important gap in our cross-cultural understanding of the psychology of careers. The interesting pairing of chapters from Western and South Asian (Indian) cultural perspectives, and mix of etic and emic studies of careers in the 21st century is a timely reminder that careers are constantly being constructed by individuals, societies and the times we live in!'--Kim Yin Chan, Nanyang Business School, Singapore
