Leading Global Innovation: Facilitating Multicultural Collaboration

Responding to the need for organizations to improve global innovation performance, how can leaders and teams ensure success for strategic initiatives around the world? Filling an important gap in knowledge and research on global innovation, Dr. Jensen introduces a new framework for leading and facilitating multicultural collaboration in service of organizational performance.

This book offers crucial guidance for executives, managers, consultants, and educators who would like to understand how to lead and orchestrate innovation in a culturally diverse and networked business environment.
