Edward T. and Mildred Reed Hall contribute to this effort by explaining the cultural context in which corporations in Germany, France, and the United States operate and how this contributes to misunderstandings between business personnel from each country. Then they offer new insights and practical advice on how to manage day-to-day transactions in the international business arena. Understanding Cultural Differences echoes and elaborates on Edward T. Hall's classic studies in intercultural relations, The Silent Language and The Hidden Dimension. It is a valuable guide for business executives from the three countries and a model of cross-cultural analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Cultural Diversity in Education: Perceptions, Opportunities and Challenges is the result of a collective work by different European, American and Asian experts. The aim is to encourage reflection on cultural diversity in the area of social sciences, particularly in the field of education. To this end, it includes different research and theoretical works with an in-depth study of the concepts that teachers and different educational professionals have in relation to cultural diversity, analysing the most common responses to cultural diversity management in the socio-educational sphere, highlighting the hurdles, supports and opportunities that mediate said process, and emphasising the main challenges to overcome in the development of an intercultural school and inclusive society. The different thematic areas studied include the value of anthropology in understanding the cultural diversity of contemporary societies, the socio-economic conditions influencing the socio-educational inclusion of immigrant families, the educational administrations policies and initiatives on interculturality, how educational professionals conceive cultural diversity, how cultural diversity is managed in schools, the training needs of teachers in intercultural skills, the possibilities of the intercultural curriculum and second language learning for the inclusion of immigrant students, and the acculturation and assimilation processes of the Roma community in schools. This volume consisting of ten chapters has a clear international and interdisciplinary projection, combining the views of anthropology, sociology and pedagogy. The studies presented highlight the value of qualitative and ethnographic research as well as the active role of students, teachers and school in change, research and innovation. This book is a fundamental resource for all those interested in intervention and research on cultural diversity in the socio-educational field.

This book was released on 1998-02-18 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In cross cultural settings, the author suggests it is not enough to know that behavior differs across cultures, but also how differences in values drive behaviors. To truly understand the differences among cultures, one must understand their origins, how they emerged on the world stage, the various economic, political, physical, social, and religious forces that shaped them. This is a unique book in that it traces the antecedents of people's behavior and shows readers why cultures differ and includes suggestions for adjusting to these differences. Engrossing and revealing, Scarborough's book will be essential for corporate management and others involved in international commerce, but also for their counterparts in the public sector, who also understand why it is necessary to get along with people from other cultures in the pursuit of mutually beneficial goals. Scarborough says, There may be no greater, more significant void in the knowledge of educated adults than cross-cultural understanding. My book advances that understanding by explaining the reasons why behavior, attitudes, beliefs, and values differ across specific cultures. Its premise is that people who interact with others with different cultural backgrounds, whether in international or culturally diverse domestic settings, are much better prepared if they understand the reasons why people act, talk, think and feel as they do. Instead of being left with just lessons on behavior, to be learned by rote, readers will be able to rely on a substantive understanding of the cultures and societies in which they find themselves, as well as their own good common sense, and in this way work more productively and harmoniously with their counterparts abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Almost Nearly Perfect People, a lively tour through Japan, Korea, and China, exploring the intertwined cultures and often fraught history of these neighboring countries. There is an ancient Chinese proverb that states, “Two tigers cannot share the same mountain.” However, in East Asia, there are three tigers on that mountain: China, Japan, and Korea, and they have a long history of turmoil and tension with each other. In his latest entertaining and thought provoking narrative travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep, really, is the enmity between these three “tiger” nations, and what prevents them from making peace. Currently China’s economic power continues to grow, Japan is becoming more militaristic, and Korea struggles to reconcile its westernized south with the dictatorial Communist north. Booth, long fascinated with the region, travels by car, ferry, train, and foot, experiencing the people and culture of these nations up close. No matter where he goes, the burden of history, and the memory of past atrocities, continues to overshadow present relationships. Ultimately, Booth seeks a way forward for these closely intertwined, neighboring nations. An enlightening, entertaining and sometimes sobering journey through China, Japan, and Korea, Three Tigers, One Mountain is an intimate and in-depth look at some of the world’s most powerful and important countries.

Book excerpt: I'M GILULI OF THE RED MIGHTY NATIONLAND. Fifty-four years ago, the Corporate World War of 2050 annihilated a bunch of animal and insect species on the planet, not to mention billions of people, but the good news is that we were born - the Red Mighties. They don't like us. They call us mutants. I'm attending their high school in the afternoons to try to understand them better, which believe me is no cup of tea, except for one particular Pre-ev guy who I could drink right up. Meanwhile, they're trying to steal our pure water source and stop us from saving the Red Mighty babies born to their people. I want to help... but I'm not sure I can do what they're asking. "Backbiters is as unique and fresh as its heroine, embracing openness to whatever forms evolution might take us. An enjoyable and satisfying read that will leave you looking at the world in a different way." - Colleen Chen, author of Dysmorphic Kingdom "With a compelling, authentic and energetic voice, Giluli pulls us into her world and her adventure. Righteous and endearing, she forges ahead into the complexities of growing up at the epicenter of clashing ideologies, political tensions and ah yes, high school drama. I couldn't wait to see how she'd come through it all!" - Soramimi Hanarejima, author of Visits to the Confabulatorium "North Korea blasts a nuclear bomb on its southern neighbor, and the resulting corporate warfare changes history and human beings... Debra Leea Glasheen depicts an intricate plot in a masterfully -constructed, highly-detailed futuristic world." - Marcin Dolecki, author of Philosopher's Crystal

Book excerpt: Radical Candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It is about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism, delivered to produce better results and help employees develop their skills and boundaries of success. Great bosses have a strong relationship with their employees, and Kim Scott Malone has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters. Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Drawing on years of first-hand experience, and distilled clearly to give actionable lessons to the reader, Radical Candor shows how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity. Radical Candor is the perfect handbook for those who are looking to find meaning in their job and create an environment where people both love their work, their colleagues and are motivated to strive to ever greater success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most significant and yet largely overlooked factors influencing performance and workplace problem solving in many large organizations is that of national culture. Managers, and the organizations for which they work, need to be able to understand the influence of cultural values and beliefs on performance in order to identify appropriate solutions; strategies appropriate in one part of the world may be ineffective or even counter-productive in another. Bryan Hopkins' ground breaking book relates the concept of cultural dimensions, as developed by writers such as Hofstede and Trompenaars, to the performance engineering approaches of Gilbert and Mager and Pipe, to show how strategies for solving workplace performance problems need to consider the cultural composition of the workforce. It then provides a practical structure for problem solving within the context of an international, multi-cultural environment. This is a book for both managers working in an international setting or for those in national organizations who are dealing with the challenge of culturally diverse workforces. It's also a book for governments seeking to understand the potential implications of national culture on civilian or even military interventions.
