The Culture Map

Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business

By Erin Meyer | Publisher: PublicAffairs

About the book

An international business expert helps you understand and navigate cultural differences in this \"brilliant guide to what all business leaders need to know right now\" (Marshall Goldsmith, author of the New York Times and global bestseller What Got You Here Won't Get You There)

When it comes to communication styles, 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.
