I'd suggest you have a look at 'International Comparative Management,' by C.I.Koen, 2005, McGrawhill. It examines the effect of culture and institutions on all functional areas of management and includes strategic chapters. It has short and longer cases.
Kind regards,
Carla

While we are on this subject, could someone suggest a good text for MBA level international? One that is not too thick and has a good mix of strategic and cultural components? Thanks.

Subject: Re: Textbook for International Management Undergraduate Course- Looking for suggestions
Hi,
I have used "Multinational Management: A Strategic Approach" by Cullen and Parboteeah, 3rd edition. I highly recommend it as it is one of the best books out there for a strategic approach to IM. The publisher is Thompson Southwestern.
Best,
Manjula

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.
