PREFACE The Tenth Edition of Deresky/Miller International Management: Managing Across Borders and Cultures has a complete set of supplemental learning and teaching aids. The Instructor’s Manual plays a central role in organizing this package. This manual has been designed so the instructor can plan lectures, discussions, online learning activities, and written assignments in a coordinated and efficient manner. All 11 chapters of the text have been carefully reviewed in order to develop the most logical and helpful manual for you, the instructor. Primary features of the Instructor’s Manual are described below. Chapter Learning Objectives Each chapter of the text contains a list of important learning objectives. These objectives are also listed at the beginning of each chapter of the Instructor’s Manual. Annotated Chapter Notes/Outline This section is the core of the Instructor’s Manual. This teaching outline is a thorough condensation (specifically tied to the actual phrases and definitions used in the textbook) of the material included in the textbook chapters. This outline includes major and minor headings from the textbook. The instructor will notice that special teaching tips appear in the body of the outline. This material is highlighted in text boxes throughout the text. Special features such as the Opening Profile, Under the Lens, Management in Action, and Comparative Management in Focus present in-depth aspects of chapter concepts. Discussion Questions and Critical Thinking Exercises Discussion Questions, Application Exercises, Experiential Exercises, and an end-ofchapter Case Study along with associated answers and comments appear at the end of each chapter. Each question and exercise is tied to a learning objective and AACSB tag in the end-of-chapter section of the Instructor’s Manual. Additional Experiential Exercises are included for selected chapters. The questions appear in the textbook (so assignments can be made from textbook chapters); however, comments and answers to the questions only appear in the Instructor’s Manual.
