内容简介
······

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.

评论 ······

作者是在法国工作的美国人,作为 low-context 国家出身的她,非常善于将复杂的观念表达得简单易懂,中国、日本、墨西哥都是 high-context 的国家,这点如果翻译为中文可能会很难理解,高语境以为着交流中更多会出现模糊的暗示信息,极其依赖语境与谈话用词来揣度真正的说话用意,也就是需要听者有更多「read the air」能听出「言外之意」的能力。书中对于各个国家合作起来的抱怨之词也很有…

大概可能好像是第一本完整看完的英语课外书?回想之前在美德法不同公司的工作经验以及和老外打交道的体验,确实验证了书中讲的一些理论,挺有道理的,也想明白了很多事情的个中缘由,推荐混迹外企和多元文化打交道的同学一看

同事刚推荐的时候,我想大概是商学院的老师收集刻板印象的一本水书吧。地铁上有空就翻两页,越发惊喜。大多数人通过经历看世界,可即便在一个国家学习生活了很多年,也只是看到有限的局部。如果能高一个视角看习惯的冲突和差异,如果能预知到尚未具备全球视野的合作伙伴的沟通习惯差异,会少不少苦恼吧。
