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.

Incredibly valuable
As someone who works across countries frequently, this book provides invaluable insights and guidance for how to navigate cultural differences more effectively. I highly recommend this book for anyone who engages with people from other national cultures - which is pretty much everyone these days!

Good content
I enjoyed the content of this book very much, although I have to say I don’t love the narrator. A bit robotic sounding but absolutely horrific pronunciation of the phrases written in other languages (mostly French). I don’t expect someone to be able to perfectly pronounce everything but this was incomprehensible.

One of the best and useful books I've read
The book is very well structured and based on some very interesting social research. I am recommending this book to anyone working in a multi-cultural environment, especially in corporations.

Great book
I recently moved from Brazil to UK, for a new job. Moved with my family, so it’s a new job for me and new life for us. The book was so useful to understand some situations that I already experienced in my professional life, working with multicultural teams and I’m sure it will help me deal better with my new life.

Great insights
I really liked the book and working with many foreigners from all around the world I think this will be really helpful.
I wish that the annexed PDF was richer in data, for example providing data for more countries.

Good content, good length
I found this book to be an excellent overview of the topic. Having worked in increasingly international teams over the past 15 years I found this useful to help interpret my own experience and firm up my lessons learned.
I would recommend this book to anyone entering a global business!
