The VMT Review — International Mentoring library

One of the classic works in international management, this book explores how different societies approach universalism versus particularism, individualism versus communitarianism, achievement versus ascription, attitudes toward time, and relationships with authority.

What the reader will learn

Mentors gain a framework for understanding why equally intelligent people may reach decisions using entirely different assumptions.
