Synopsis

The whole is harmony, not discord. Based on fourteen years of research involving nearly 50,000 managerial respondents and on the authors' extensive experience in international business, this book compares the cultural values of more than forty nations. With humour, cartoons, and an array of business examples, the authors demonstrate how cross-cultural competence and the reconciliation of cultural differences can cause whole organizations to grow healthier, wealthier and wiser.

Media Reviews
...You will gain fascinating insights into literature , philosophy, economics, ancient and modern history and obscure Japanese films. It is not like a management book at all. I recommend it. (Daily Telegraph, 7th December 2000) There are lots of fascinating stories about how we differ, and we are encouraged to respect all forms of diversity. The book will give people working internationally a deeper level of understanding of the issues, pitfalls and potential ways to reconcile cultural differences at work. (People Management, 7th December 2000) This book really does have some excellent material in it and there is much to be gained from reading it. (European Business Forum, January 2001) The authors write beautifully and this work is one of the most clearly and elegantly written management books in many years... (Journal of General Management, Vol. 26/3, Spring 2001) I have read many books on the topic. Few have been as brilliant, creative or useful. Building Cross-Cultural Competence is in a league of its own. (CISV Interspectives (A journal on Transcultural Education) Vol.18, 2001) ...essential reading for all concerned with the challenges of global intercultural management... (Long Range Planning, Vol.34 2001)
