Overview and Facework Model Application for the Cross-Cultural Workplace -- Index. This book explains the subtle maneuvers of what researchers call “facework” and demonstrates the vital role it plays in the success or failure of cross-cultural interactions. Building on Geert Hofstede's seminal research on cultural dimensions, Merkin synthesizes more recent research in business, communication, cross-cultural psychology and sociology to offer a model for better understanding facework. Additionally, Merkin's model shows how particular communication strategies can facilitate more successful cross-cultural interactions. The first book of its kind to focus on the practical aspects of employing face-saving, it is a needed text for academics, students, and business professionals negotiating with organizations from different cultures. 82423 Cross-cultural studies. 154934 Public relations 115420 International business enterprises http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=nlebk&AN=1357860&site=ehost-live Presione para acceder el libro en línea lcc 7 HD59.2 .M475 2017 0 0 lcc 0 0 12 12 45 2018-02-07 23 298.00 0 HD59.2 .M475 2017 50000003249702 2018-02-07 00:00:00 c. 1 298.00 2018-02-07 7 0 0 ddc 0 0 1 1 24 2018-02-08 0 Dewey 60000010160411 2018-02-08 00:00:00 1 2018-02-08 7
