Building Cross–Cultural Competence: How to create Wealth from Conflicting Values

Charles Hampden–Turner

Fons Trompenaars

Notă GoodReads:

Ein Buch über Kultur. Fremde Kulturen sind nicht willkürlich oder rein zufällig voneinander verschieden, sie sind vielmehr Spiegelbilder unserer Wertvorstellungen, Umkehrungen einer Ordnung und Folge von Betrachten und Lernen. Wenn auch diese Vorstellung zunächst beängstigend ist, so paßt doch alles, wenn man erst einmal alles begriffen hat, was die fremde Kultur sagt und tut, wunderbar in unsere transkulturelle Welt. Es ist einfach eine andere Art, mit dem Leben umzugehen, mit anderen Antworten dieselben Probleme zu lösen. Klar, prägnant und spannend stellt Management-Guru Charles Hampden-Turner hier seine Ideen vor, die die Unternehmenswelt zur Wertschöpfung einsetzen kann.
