An internationalist? And still loyal to one’s tribe?

Monday, December 20th, 2010

Thunderbird School of Global Management Professor Robert Moran, Ph.D.Thunderbird Emeritus Professor Robert Moran, Ph.D., tried hard to be Japanese when he arrived from Canada as a young Catholic priest in the 1960s. Then he discovered a liberating concept. He could be Canadian and still have a  global perspective. Acclaimed physicist Albert Einstein reached a similar conclusion. In a 1919 letter to a friend, Einstein wrote: “One can be an internationalist without being indifferent to members of one’s tribe.” Moran explores the concept in the eighth edition of his book, Managing Cultural Differences (McGraw-Hill, Nov. 25, 2010). He shares additional insights in this Dec. 9, 2010, conversation with the Thunderbird Knowledge Network. | Audio Podcast: An internationalist? And still loyal to one’s tribe? (10:13)
