"The original edition of Organization Theory and the Multinational Corporation was a seminal influence in bringing together organization theory and perspectives on the multinational corporation from international management. Leading scholars from both fields contributed to the book, and it quickly became an important resource for researchers, students, and those with a broad interest in either field. This new edition, which updates the original chapters to reflect recent work and includes, a new chapter on institutional contexts, makes this important work once again widely available."--Jacket.

In every company, a select few produce more, sell more, and deliver better results. These stellar performers consistently outshine their peers-and achieve more than most would believe possible. If only these people could be cloned! The Star Factor delivers the next best thing: a unique system for unlocking their wisdom, transforming that knowledge into actionable steps, and helping other employees internalize these new attitudes and behaviors, bringing much-needed change to the whole organization. The book's proven Affirmative Leadership methodology has produced astonishing results for companies in a range of industries: The world's largest semiconductor manufacturer doubled its accuracy rate for inventory management forecasting; and a top fast food chain dramatically reduced its employee turnover. Supported by recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, including research on motivation, learning, and achievement, The Star Factor presents a sustainable, people-centered system to build a culture of greatness that starts with the stars and spreads to every corner and every level of the organization.
Christopher A. Bartlett and Sumantra Ghoshal
With deregulation, privatization, and information technology transforming competition, the transnational model continually evolves. In a timely response to this dynamically changing business world, Bartlett and Ghoshal revisit their breakthrough concepts, updating the material with fresh examples drawn from today's leading global enterprises. The second edition of Managing Across Borders builds on the authors' ongoing exploration of the transnational, with their current research extending and illuminating the findings of their earlier work. An entirely new section, "The Transformation Challenge," focuses on how several companies have implemented the book's concepts. We see firsthand the obstacles and opportunities to building an effective transnational organization. This new edition also includes an application handbook, a highly practical tool that helps readers translate the book's ideas into real-world action plans for their companies.
