Non tutte le culture soo uguali. Ogni approccio ha la sua cultura, si potrebbe dire ... uno stimolo ad andare oltre lo stereotipo dei concetti del management

Presented to my team and it created some interesting conversation! We are a multicultural society. This opens conversation enabling more understanding about where people are coming from. Thanks.

This book was purchased for college. The price was reasonable and I was also able to resell the book and make some of my money back.

ok

I work for a small company with development sites in 6 countries and customers on three continents so have to cope with a wide array of differences in cultural expectations. Initially I liked the book - it offers a framework for discussing cultural differences in a non-judgmental way. For this it has been useful among the set of managers that has read it, but I have found relying on the classifications by nation in the book to be problematic. I especially lost it when they were highlighting differences between US and British engineers in addressing risk. The book describes a case study where differences in approach to risk mitigation were causing problems. While the case study may be accurate, and the differences may be real, they were no predicted by the ratings provided for US and British culture. In other words, they were describing a problem that they were claiming could be been predicted and mitigated by taking their advice when looking at their data did not suggest the problem. I dislike when things are not at least self consistent.
