Abstract

‘Praxis’ is the dynamic process by which a theory, understanding, or skill is practised, enacted, embodied, and incorporated by individuals at a certain instance in time and space. It has been recurrently put forth as a sine qua non to learning in the field of philosophy through the writings of Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Kant, Kierkegaard, Marx, Heidegger, and Arendt in the West, and through the hermeneutics put forth by Lao Tsu, Confucius, Shakyamuni Buddha and many others in the East. Cultural learning for understanding collaboration in the global contexts of today’s multinational organizations should thereby be predicated on no different process. In juxtaposing theory with experiential, empirically grounded, cross-cultural field studies, this volume does exactly this and as such goes far in demonstrating how a praxis approach can advance the field of cross-cultural management beyond its current limitations to provide thoughtful, nuanced guidance around understanding the challenges of global collaboration.
