Call for Chapters: Handbook of Cross-Cultural Management
We are putting together a Handbook of Cross-Cultural Management for publication by Edward Elgar Publishing and we would like to invite cross-cultural management researchers to contribute chapters to the Handbook.
We envision the Handbook to cover research studies that unravel both the challenges and rewards of cross-cultural dynamics and also provide practical guidance for individuals, teams, and organizations on navigating and excelling in cross-cultural environments. With this in mind, we aim to have three main sections in the Handbook:
I. Cross-cultural management: From an individual perspective (e.g., expatriates; migrants; students; etc.)
II. Cross-cultural management: From a team perspective (e.g., global teams; global virtual teams; etc.)
III. Cross-cultural management: From an organizational/firm perspective (e.g., MNCs; etc.)
If you have any research works that relate to any of the above topics, we would be delighted to hear about them for possible inclusion to the Handbook. Please submit a one-page proposal (single-space; Times New Roman 12 points) to us via email (see details below) by October 31, 2023. The one-page proposal must include a title, name/s of the author/s, affiliation/s and the summary of the research. We will evaluate the proposal for fit, rigor and relevance to the Handbook and then invite the author/s to further develop the proposal.
The full chapter must be approximately 10,000 words with abstract of up to 150 words and up to 6 keywords.
