This text offers a comprehensive, up-to-date view of the global leadership field since the publication of the third edition of this volume in 2018. Focusing on leading across cultural, economic, social, national, and political boundaries simultaneously, Global Leadership: Research, Practice, and Development (fourth edition) presents an in-depth summary of the field’s past and latest studies and practices in a succinct and engaging style that helps both managers and students grasp the complexities of global leadership.
The conceptual flow of the book follows the same pattern as the third edition. Users of previous editions will notice that the structure of the last edition has been retained, but each chapter has been updated, where relevant, with coverage of seminal research that has occurred in the field since the publication of the last edition of the book. Many of the tables remain but have been revised and updated to reflect the current state of research in the field. We believe this approach will be helpful to instructors who use Global Leadership: Research, Practice, and Development as a textbook as they will not have to significantly revise their lesson plans but rather can straightforwardly update them with new information from the existing chapters within their course designs.
Importantly, Global Leadership: Research, Practice, and Development is also a valuable guide for executives and managers who work in the global context, graduate students of global leadership, international business, and general leadership classes, as well as for scholars and managers seeking a thorough understanding of the current research literature. PowerPoint slides and a list of suggested cases are available to further assist instructors.
