Book review: Coaching for women entrepreneurs

Abstract

multicultural settings wraps up a valuable series of pertinent examples from various work environments around the world. As the authors indicate, "global managers must develop proficiencies in working across cultures, because this is where most future opportunities will be found" (Steers et al., 2016: 376). Recommendations for future editions of the book relate to the need to expand on the process of developing identity in diverse cultural contexts (Phinney and Baldelomar, 2011), intercultural communication (Ting-Toomey and Chung, 2011), and identity shifts as part of a cultural transition process for individuals who repatriate (Sussman, 2002) Overall, the book demonstrates a clear writing style, rich in examples of concepts, principles, or practices that relate closely to the topic under discussion in any given chapter. In addition to managers from companies and corporations around the world, I would also recommend the book to college and university instructors interested in providing background to cross-and multicultural parameters that influence business endeavors on a local, regional, and/or global scale. Students and instructors alike would benefit from investigating some of the research ideas mentioned in the current book as a way to continue the critical conversation about the knowledge bases and skill areas needed to be(come) an effective and efficient global manager.
