Editorial Reviews

In our increasingly connected world, we cannot understand effective strategic communication without understanding cultural differences. This book makes a valuable contribution by bringing together the latest theory and research with real-world applications. We have adopted this book for courses in our Master’s in Strategic Communication program at Columbia University.”
