Dear reader: I have read most of the book, and I was taken from the first page on until the last page, in one day! In fact, this is the best and most comprehensive coverage of recent leadership practices around the globe. Plus, the combination of empirical approaches with qualitative and quantitative approaches make this book a real scholarly gem! The part on Luxemburg with Dr Ursula Schinzel and Rita Knott really stands out, as it shows the unique impact of the Luxemburgish culture, which is an unconventional compilation of several subcultures coexisting in a small country, on responsible leadership. In this unusual and peculiar time of Corona Virus, with lockdowns, travel bans and social distancing, the book shows, that despite all of these limitations, collaboration, research, friendship, academic work and leadership don’t stop, as apparently there are no borders, no limits to any of them. On the contrary, this work is a testimony of cross-cultural collaboration against all odds. I wholeheartedly wish you enjoyable reading!
Detelin Elenkov (Ph.D. ’92, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
At last a cross-cultural book that uses non-US approach to the study of culture and leadership. The book includes both theory and practice of leadership in 24 countries, of which only four (Belgium, Czech Republic, France and Luxembourg) are included in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) list, and the rest are developing countries such as Azerbaijan, Cameroon, Dominican Republic, Moldova, and Guyana, countries for which there are very limited data about leadership. Moreover, the book could be used in both research and undergraduate level university instruction, as well as by practitioners and decision makers in the studied countries. The book’s findings were generated by the use of three methods of data collection, namely, literature survey, actual in-country questionnaire surveys, and experts’ advice by 48 academics and practitioners who experience living, working and teaching in these countries.
The following information is presented for each of the twenty four countries surveyed and described in the book: Country introduction; how the local nationals describe their leaders; survey and interviews results; in-country youtube review; summary of telephone interviews with local leadership experts; summary of video interviews with local cross-cultural trainers; a list of host country most popular books about leadership; analysis of hierarchy and its implications for human behavior; and recommendations for empathetic leadership approach.
The book has been compiled by experienced instructors of cross-cultural leadership and the data contributed by many others at one university, a testimony for what a collaborative efforts can yield. It is a great asset in any library, on-line or private collection.

Mapping Global Leadership – the newest book from University of Amsterdam for Applied Sciences – a cross-cultural comparison among countries, not by the USA, but by other countries around the globe, also including an interesting and in-depth analysis of one of the smallest countries, a country – Luxembourg – known by few if not for a superficial idea of a rich, clean and bourgeois country nestled in the centre of Europe.
The study reveals, following CCBS online questionnaire survey, and interviews with Dr Ursula Schinzel and Rita Knott, surprising aspects such as the enormous diversity of socio-cultural attitudes due to the multicultural aspect and above all the country’s ability to seize opportunities for the well-being of all.
While remaining proud of their being Luxembourgish, the natives are open to welcoming new cultures and ways of thinking in an environment of respect for rules shared by all.
It is interesting to note that the different cultures implanted in Luxembourg also create an excellent osmosis with the local culture.
I recommend reading this book to discover some surprising aspects for 24 countries worldwide, and especially about Luxembourg, a small country that could be considered a cultural laboratory.
This is a review of my own work. For the purpose of this book, I was interviewed to talk about leadership style in Luxembourg. The outcome of so many interviews around the world is now available in form of this book from Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and CCBS (Cross-Cultural Business Skills). It is to be said that I am especially proud of being part of this book, an excellent collection of CCC : ‘Cross-Cultural Comparison’. Reading it is fun, really fun, because it is current, it is interesting, it is compelling, and represents a moment in time, before the outbreak of the Corona Virus pandemic. Cross-Cultural Comparison has been forever my dearest research. Thinking back when I was in school, 15 years old, participating in my first school exchange with Great Britain, and the next year with France, when I was 16 years old. Indeed, telling my stories about my stays in the exchange families, and seeing my listeners interests, this was fascinating, and then writing about my diverse experiences, while living, studying, working in different countries of Europe, the USA and Africa and Australia…. when travelling was not yet fashion, and then everybody started travelling, not only me, and now nobody travels because of the COVID-19 pandemic travel stop.
This book is amazing, an outstanding collection, and hopefully not the end, hopefully this research will continue and more people will contribute to more ‘storytelling of cross-cultural comparison. Enjoy the reading. Thank you for reading my stories.
Dr Ursula Schinzel
‘Mapping Global Leadership’ is a collection of leadership styles in different countries, where 125 students from the module ‘Cross-Cultural Business Skills’ at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences interviewed leaders and distributed questionnaires. My daughter was interviewed by one of the scholars during the Corona Virus lockdown period, via skype interview and collaboration was virtual to make corrections and clarifications. A remarkable work! Good luck with the reading!

The call for papers for this guest edition allowed the collection of papers from a very diverse range of salient entrepreneurial and managerial topics in economic difficult times in the beginning of the 21st century. The global challenges for entrepreneurs and management alike are triggered by increased levels of globalisation, internationalisation or cross-cultural issues. This calls for effective entrepreneurial, managerial and societal crisis management implying paradigm changes in strategy, marketing and e-marketing, human resources, quality management or knowledge transfer. Solutions require adequate learning and training facilities with new pedagogic concepts as well as selected political and social solutions reflecting comprehensive approaches to emerging crises, which are provided by this guest edition. Furthermore, innovative concepts and methods to stimulate entrepreneurship, aiming to contribute to increased levels of wellbeing, quality, and sustainability, and last but not least to financial security. The papers’ research settings are located in different European and associated countries and cover topics which are perceived to be currently under-researched: healthcare in Poland, online laboratory for learning accounting in Poland, family luxury businesses in Italy, the Greek wood and furniture sector, wellbeing at the crossroads of socio-economic growth, technology transfer models in Israel and Portugal, cultural shifts in Luxembourg. Reflecting the holistic character of the guest edition, solutions are also suggested for crisis management in the European Union, including political and military actions. As to methodological aspects, the guest edition embraces papers that are empirically, conceptually or case study based, representing an interesting mixture intended to bring topics to discussion rather than to conclusions. The diversified nature of this contextual mixture is intended to reflect the diversified nature of challenges of the European entrepreneurial and management arena calling for concerted actions. The topics mentioned above cover sectors from low-tech to high tech, from public research organisations to commercial firms covering the diversified cultural and geographical scenes in the EU. The following briefly introduces the respective papers’ contents: (U. Schinzel and A. Porath )
• ‘Political and military action frame of the European Union in crises management’ by Corneliu Balta, Gheorghe Bica and Diana Nicoleta Rosioru
This study researches the European Union (EU), who is one of the dynamic non-state players on the world scene in relation to the crises and conflict management. As a result, it activates by voluntary conjecture of a hefty assortment of political and military roles for preventing and resolving the predicaments and clashes, which can come about in the European space or adjoining its strategic neighbourhood.
• ‘Stimulating entrepreneurship by teaching accounting: concept and implementation’ by Anna Białek-Jaworska and Renata Gabryelczyk
This study aims to present an idea for the implementation of an educational programme to usher students towards entrepreneurship through an integrated process approach, illustrating business operations with real accounting documents and bookkeeping, using ERP and IT modelling and process analysis tools. The proposed approach will enable students to develop an understanding of the business environment and allow them to obtain some practical experience in accounting.
• ‘Innovation and knowledge management in a knowledge-based economy’ by Gheorghe Bică, Mădălina Constantinescu and Elena Bică
The main objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive view of the current state of research and practices regarding the development of the knowledge-based economy: innovation as a key driver in wealth creation; how to maximise creativity and innovation in any individual, organisation, region or economy. Another objective of the paper addresses the context of how information technology (IT) can aid the transformation process of knowledge.
• ‘Emerging from crisis with new approaches to science of society’ by Aurelian Bondrea, Larisa Mihoreanu, Carmen Costea and Adrian Vasile
The study of complex systems, evolutionary economics and interdisciplinary research offers the possibility of new developments. The recurrence of economic crises serves to illustrate the limits of neoclassical economics and the contemporary established models. Modern-day economic developments are highly influenced by the theory of complexity. Complex systems research represents the viable alternative for sustainable growth in the following decades. The concept of emergence represents an insightful argument against the well-planned and ordered nature of the social sciences universe.
• ‘An exploratory investigation on new product development in family luxury businesses’ by Stefano Bresciani, Bernardo Bertoldi, Chiara Giachino and Alberto Ferraris
This research aims at investigating the relationship between family and products in the luxury sector, in order to understand if and how, the family affects the success of the company. 19 family businesses were interviewed, operating in the luxury sector discovering that the involvement of the family and its essence are deeply anchored in the core business of the company. Firms need to quickly and timely anticipate competitors’ next moves, monitor market tastes, adapt their products and properly communicate their positioning. Products often remain faithful to the style impressed by the family.
• ‘Strategic R&D internationalisation in developing Asian countries – the Italian experience’ by Stefano Bresciani, Alkis Thrassou and Demetris Vrontis
The aim of this paper is to show R&D internationalisation activities of firms from Italy in Asian developing countries. Using a dataset of 500 Italian firms with international R&D units, as well as interviews, it was researched whether companies follow a knowledge augmenting or knowledge sourcing strategy. The results show a positive relation between the choice to settle R&D units in Asia and the sale of innovative products in Asia, concluding that firms follow a knowledge exploiting strategy, establishing their whole innovation value chain to developing Asian countries.
• ‘Consequences of investment contract duration on the valuation of firms in maturity stage’ by Madalena Delgado, Renato Pereira and Álvaro Dias
Variables influencing investment contract duration were studied by investigating the performance of mature Portuguese firms that have been (partially) held by venture capital funds. Evidence was found that sales growth, exports, book value, headcount and a good coverage of ISO standards implementation influenced the investment contract duration.
• ‘Knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship and performance during the crisis: cases of the Greek wood industry’ by Glykeria Karagouni
The study approaches the relationship between knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship (KIE) in low-tech, traditional sectors and environmental instability from the perspective of the long severe financial crisis in Greece, of the wood industry in Greece, which led to a drastic economic downturn.
• ‘A quality management model for integrated healthcare in Poland’ by Iga Rudawska and Hans Ruediger Kaufmann
The objective of this paper is to identify the indicators of a quality management model for integrated healthcare settings in Poland. In order to elicit the items and clusters of quality management, a three-step methodology has been applied: a literature review, a Delphi study, and concept mapping.
• ‘Monetary and financial policies: a dynamical model approach’ by Ion Viorel Matei, Laura Ungureanu and Eduard Ionescu

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to explain Luxembourg people’s high scores on the measure of happiness by looking into the relationship between happiness and culture, as measured by the command of a language. More specifically, Hofstede’s dimensions of culture, ‘Individualism/Collectivism’, ‘Power Distance’, ‘Masculinity/Femininity’, ‘Uncertainty Avoidance’, ‘Long-Term Orientation/Short-Term Orientation’, ‘Indulgence versus Restraint’ and ‘Monumentalism’, as well as ‘Happiness’, (Diener & Lucas, 2000) are measured and calculated by obtaining responses from 134 employees who work at Lindab Buildings in Luxembourg, France and Germany. No significant differences were found between Hofstede’s estimates for the dimensions of culture in Luxembourg and his scores for Germany, and the current study’s results for Lindab in Luxembourg and Germany. Differences were found between Hofstede’s and Lindab results for France and for Luxembourgers who command the Luxembourgish language, indicating that language is an identifier of culture. Pearson Correlations were calculated, where Happiness was found to be related to Indulgence and to Long-Term Orientation. Discussion, implications, limitations, and future research suggestions follow.

Die großen Themen unserer Zeit (2014)

|
Der lebendige Austausch über gesellschaftlich und politisch relevante Themen ist für eine Demokratie maßgebend. Deshalb liegt dem Frieling-Verlag Berlin ein offener und engagierter Dialog zu den richtungsweisenden Themen unserer Zeit am Herzen. In dem kritischen Sammelband Die großen Themen unserer Zeit • Autoren im Dialog bekennen Autorinnen und Autoren politisch Farbe, beziehen zu aktuellen Fragen Stellung und prangern gesellschaftliche Missstände an. Dabei werden bewusst auch kontroverse Sichtweisen veröffentlicht. Der erste Teil des vorliegenden Bandes umfasst Beiträge zum Schwerpunktthema „Ist die Humanität am Ende?“ In diesem Thementeil setzen sich Autorinnen und Autoren auf formal und inhaltlich vielfältige Art mit den Grundlagen unserer Gesellschaft und unserer Menschlichkeit auseinander. Sie berichten von eigenen Erlebnissen und Erfahrungen als Helfende in unterschiedlichen Situationen, beleuchten die Situation in fernen Ländern und erörtern die philosophischen, sozialen und religiösen Aspekte der Hinwendung zum Mitmenschen. Dem schließen sich im zweiten Teil Beiträge zu weiteren gesellschaftlich relevanten Themen an. So bietet der Band einen facettenreichen Blick auf den Zustand der Welt, in der wir leben.
