Publisher's 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

good book for understanding cultural aspects

The stories were very helpful in bring out the different aspects clearly. The eight aspects provides a good structure to understand the topic better
1) Communicating: low-context vs. high-context
2) Evaluating: direct negative feedback vs. indirect negative feedback
3) Persuading: principles-first vs. applications-first
4) Leading: egalitarian vs. hierarchical
5) Deciding: consensual vs. top-down
6) Trusting: task-based vs. relationship-based
7) Disagreeing: confrontational vs. avoids confrontation
8) Scheduling: linear-time vs. flexible-time

Very insightful on cultural differences

The content of the book is very impressive and insightful on the differences between cultures around the world. Although many bigger and diverse countries like India may have internal cultural differences as well. Nevertheless the book covers a wide variety of important cultural aspects and maps these aspects of cultures relative to one another. Very useful for anyone working in a multicultural environment.

Insightful Book with great details, and examples!

Thanks to Erin for writing this amazing book after a lot of experience with people from around the world and the research on their culture. I can say that "The Culture Map" can now be a reference for me to work effectively with team members or colleagues from different parts of the world without assumptions/confusions. Each and every example in the book counts, helps us re-assure our understanding. The contents are very well structured and organised in the right sequence that helps the reader to digest it easily.

Thanks to Lisa Larsen for the wonderful narration that helps to absorb the essence of the book as it is!

Great book. Lot of insights

Loved the book.

The book helps to decode the parameters which constitute culture, and helps understand how and why different countries are on different places on these parameters.

Not only does it help in understanding about other cultures, but the realisation on the different parameters and how my own culture reacts to it was very insightful.
