    Dear Colleagues,

    We are delighted to announce the publication of the eleven volume set,
    Culturally Sensitive Models of Family Business.    This Compendium
    uses GLOBE's ten cultural clusters of the world (Anglo Region, Confucian
    Asia, Eastern Europe, Germanic Europe, Latin America, Latin Europe,
    Middle East, Nordic Europe, Southern Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa) to
    address the commonality as well as differences in family businesses
    around the world.  While a growing body of knowledge about different
    cultures exists, it tends to be centered on a few cultures (e.g.,
    Anglo) and is dispersed throughout a wide array of publication outlets.  The
    purpose of this Compendium is to examine and highlight the various
    cultures from around the world in one single resource to make it
    readily accessible to scholars, students, and practitioners.  A special volume
    on gender in family business rounds out the set.

    "The Compendium is a timely and major contribution.  It is a great
    resource for scholars and students interested in understanding the
    diversity and uniqueness of family firms around the world.  Family
    business practitioners and policy makers seeking to enhance global
    collaborations and creating sustainable families, communities, and
    businesses will find this an invaluable resource."
    Pramodita Sharma, Ph.D.
    Associate Dean of Business and Professor of Family Business
    Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada

    "As an integral first phase for a broader research program, C.A.S.E.
    (Culturally-Sensitive Assessment System and Education), it offers
    comparative cultural analysis of family businesses and
    culturally-sensitive tools to create more successful families,
    businesses, and communities worldwide."
    Joseph Horak, Ph.D.
    Horak Family and Psychological Services,
    President, C.A.S.E. Worldwide Group, L.L.C., USA

    The Compendium is intended to open a new stream of inquiry in the
    growing field of family business.  We encourage you to share this
    information about the Compendium and the caseworldwide.com (
    http://caseworldwide.com/ )site with your colleagues and contacts.
    In addition, please ask the library of your institution to order a
    full set of the Compendium.

    You may order the full 11-set Compendium at a discounted rate of $240.

    Additional copies of each volume can be purchased for $25 per volume.

    Sincerely,

    The Editorial Team,
