1. Cross-cultural management : an introduction
abstract"We are reminded daily of the globally interconnected business world in which we live. Events on one side of the globe reverberate instantaneously in the other. Globalization has many effects, but one of the most important is the dramatic increase in the opportunity and need to interact with people who are culturally different from us. We are exposed on a daily basis to a wide variety of attitudes, values, beliefs, and assumptions that culturally different individuals hold about appropriate behavior. In order to thrive, and in some cases even to survive, as managers, we must learn to understand and integrate these differences. David Thomas and Kerr Inkson, offer students an authoritative, yet approachable perspective in Introduction to Cross-Cultural Management, 1st Edition"--

2. Occupational attainment and earnings among immigrant groups : evidence from New Zealand
abstractThis paper concerns the prediction of career success among migrants. We focus specifically on the role of occupation as a mediating variable between the predictor variables education and time since migration, and the dependent variable career success as denoted by occupational status, linked to earnings. This is the first application of this analysis to New Zealand data. New Zealand provides an interesting case, as a country where migrants from diverse ethnic groups comprise a significant part of the population. Following a review of the literature specifically focused on occupation, we apply Ordered Probit analysis to a sample of over 37,900 employed males. We focus on the occupational attainment of immigrants and the native-born populations and provide evidence on the mediating effect of occupational attainment on earnings. Our analyses show the interplay of factors leading to occupational attainment: for example, education level is of greatest importance, and much of its effect on earnings is through occupational attainment; different immigrant groups have differentiable outcomes, and years of experience in the host country enable gradual occupational advancement. Our results highlight the significant mediating role of occupational attainment in explaining earnings across immigrant and native-born groups.

3. Laugh out Loud: A User’s Guide to Workplace Humor
abstract“Laugh Out Loud should be of enormous value to any leader who accepts the challenge of building and maintaining a superb work place that is a joy to be part of and that delivers superlative results." -Tom Peters, international consultant and author of In Search of Excellence (1982), The Excellence Dividend (2018), and many other management best-sellers. Humor is part and parcel of every workplace. However, while humor usually demonstrates and fosters a united, happy workforce, it can at times be damaging and divisive. This book is the first-ever authoritative work on the use and management of humor at work - a practical guide for humorists, jokers, ‘butts’ and victims of humor, fans, observers, and most of all the managers who have to ‘set the tone’ and encourage, control and manage humor. The authors bring together long experience and state-of-the art research on the topic. The book covers how humor works, humor cultures, forms of workplace humor, humor rituals, digital humor, workplace jokers, ‘political correctness’ about humor, and both the ‘bright’ and ‘dark’ sides of humor . With over 60 ‘real life’ illustrative stories, a self-completion humor questionnaire and end-of-chapter ‘takeaways’ advocating ‘best practice’, the book is a fun, how-to-do-it guide that will both inform and entertain. Barbara Plester, Senior Lecturer in the University of Auckland Business School, is a New Zealander who has researched workplace humor and fun for the last 14 years, publishing her research in many journal articles and in her academic book, The Complexity of Workplace Humour (2016). Barbara says that humor is endemic to both her zany family life and her award-winning teaching. Kerr Inkson, Emeritus Professor in the University of Auckland Business School, is a Scottish-born New Zealander whose 50+-year research career included work on motivation, careers and cross-cultural management. Now retired, his main pursuits are writing, amateur drama and golf. Among his favourite humor is that of his compatriot, the incomparable Billy Connolly
