Review Key questions and inspiring answers in cross- cultural management (book review)

This volume presents a significant contribution to the field of intercultural research, particularly in the context of international business relations, as it focuses on the pivotal role of female intercultural experts and scholars. Drawing upon twelve interviews with prominent female researchers, lecturers, and published authors, the book foregrounds women’s valuable contributions to the advancement of intercultural understanding. The structure of the book is divided into three sections. The first section, Introduction, outlines the concept of cross-cultural management and discusses the pioneering role of women in this area of research. The second section, Conversations, features interviews with twelve leading figures from various countries, concentrating on their experiences and perspectives. The final section, Conclusion, synthesises the key findings from these conversations. The interviewees, many of whom may already be familiar to readers, offer profound reflections on the contributions of female academics to the study and teaching of intercultural relations and communication, as well as the challenges they have encountered in their careers.
