Discussion: View Thread

I must say I prefer Cullen if a Strategic perspective is what you are looking for, though the Phatak book is not bad. I dont use it because there are not enough good cases

Good luck

Dear Colleagues,

I am looking for a good textbook (preferably without cases, I have my own set of cases) for teaching International Management to undergraduate senior students. I teach this course more from strategic perspective than from cross-cultural perspective. The textbook I used last year I did not like at all for a couple of reasons- the book is simply a collection of newspaper clippings and pictures, has hardly any theoretical underpinning.  I will greatly appreciate your help in this regard. You may reply to msrivast@vt.edu.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Manish

Subject: The Mondavi Affair : a crazy French vision of cross-cultural management


(Re: summary: cases and film cases for cross-cultural management course)

Dear Colleagues,

In response to Dr Shan Man, Professor Dirk Matten proposed a look at the
Mondavi case :  http://www.mondovinofilm.com/

Let me propose a look at a very well-known French vision of the affair.

Indeed, the successful French book by O.TORRES is now available in English
from PALGRAVE MACMILLAN editions.

From a  cross-cultural perspective, his presentation of the "wine wars" has
to be compared with the film, "Mondavino".

Bests regards,

Claude Etrillard

The Wine Wars
The Mondavi Affair, Globalisation and "Terroir"
Olivier Torrès

Description
The Wine Wars describes Californian-based wine producer Robert Mondavi's
failure to set up business in a small, world-renowned wine-producing village
in the south of France. The business venture was bought to an abrupt halt by
an anti-globalization rebellion composed of ecologists, communists,
neo-rurals and wild boar hunters. The 'Mondavi affair' illustrates the
importance of culture, history, geography and economic and political systems
in conditioning our spirit of enterprise and the way in which we do business.
