Summary
An international business expert helps you understand and navigate cultural differences in this insightful and practical guide, perfect for both your work and personal life. Americans precede anything negative with three nice comments; French, Dutch, Israelis, and Germans get straight to the point; Latin Americans and Asians are steeped in hierarchy; Scandinavians think the best boss is just one of the crowd. It's no surprise that when they try and talk to each other, chaos breaks out. In The Culture Map, INSEAD professor Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain in which people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together. She provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business, and combines a smart analytical framework with practical, actionable advice.
Certes on peut penser que les generalités sur les differences culturelles qui s'appliquent dans le milieu pro sont fortuites. Mais ce livre est tout de meme sacrement bien construit, et tres instructif. Les exemples sont souvent marquants et rappellent beaucoup mes propres experiences. A mettre definitivement entre les mains de ceux qui travaillent dans des environnements internationaux. Moins d'interet pour les autres. J'aurais vraiment aimé lire ce livre il y a 10 ou 15 ans. Cela m'aurait évité bien des erreurs et incompréhension niveau pro.
