Review

“A significant monograph that is both intricate and nuanced…. The theoretical analysis as well as the empirical findings both constitute significant contributions to the field of cross-cultural value analysis as well as the field of cross-cultural research on organizational dynamics and work motivations. This ebook is also a wonderful resource for anyone interested in cross-cultural comparisons from a historical or anthropological perspective.
