Abstract:

This book systematically investigates intercultural experiences of Polish
managers and specialists delegated by their multinational company (MNC) on an
international assignment to China. The book employs narrative inquiry to
explore language, intercultural communication, collaboration, learning, and
expatriate adjustment in the MNC. This approach offers new insights into
intercultural experiences, communication, and cultural challenges faced by an
under-researched group of professionals exposed to intensive collaborations
with the local managers and employees. The findings also illustrate how the
expatriates learned to better navigate the multicultural and multilingual
business context and what factors facilitated and inhibited their learning and
adjustment. Encouraging the qualitative, context-sensitive examination of
expatriate-local personnel interactions, the book will be an invaluable source
for scholars and practitioners interested in, among others, novel approaches
to investigating language and intercultural communication in international
business, cross-cultural management, qualitative cross-cultural research, as
well as for lecturers and students interested in Central Europe and China.
