- Synopsis
- Behrens, an expert and lecturer on cross-cultural management, maintains that American companies and managers have not tapped into Latin American values of teamwork, innovation and creativity since current survey instruments do not "capture cultural traits in a multicultural workforce. " The author advises managers and human resource experts to look to art, literature and culture to identify these differences and uses examples from Argentina, Brazil and other Latin American countries to reinforce his recommended assessment methods. A final section measures the impact of culture on management in terms of leadership, communication, perceptions and incentives. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
