A unique training book containing over 100 culture awareness exercises, dialogues, stories incidents and simulations that bring to life Geert Hofstede's five dimensions of culture.

Exploring Culture also contains new material on Geert Hofstede's cultural dimensions and the synthetic cultures. An excellent partner to Hofstede's popular Cultures & Organizations.

Media Reviews
What a gold mine of information! What a wealth of material! Exploring Culture is a book that gives the interculturalist real substance and real tools in the same volume. I congratulate the authors for having constructed a masterpiece in intercultural training. * David Crookall, Ph.D., Universite de Nice Sophia Antipolis, Editor, Simulation and Gaming *
Full of both practical approaches to intercultural learning and gems of insight into how the Hofstede dimensions work out in the real world, [Exploring Culture] will likely become a dog-eared resident of every intercultural practitioner's bookshelf. * John W. Bing, ITAP International *
Exploring Culture is an impressive addition to...intercultural training, expertly written by three leaders in the field. Must reading for anyone concerned about the effectiveness of people working and living in other cultures. * Nancy J. Adler, Ph.D., McGill University, Montreal, Canada *
