Greater emphasis on cross-cultural negotiation and intercultural team-building. More on the 'Stress and Coping Approach'. More corporate examples to stress the topicality of the subject area. New learning features: 'applying theory to practice' boxes and review questions. Improved web site with annotated web links and self- assessment exercises for students, and PowerPoint slides, class exercises and additional case studies for lecturers. |
