Book description
In this thoroughly updated and expanded third edition of the
ground-breaking book When Cultures Collide: Leading Across Cultures,
Richard Lewis
includes every major region of the world and more
than sixty countries!
Capturing the rising influence of culture and the seismic
changes throughout many regions of the world, cross-cultural expert
and international businessman Richard Lewis has significantly
broadened the scope of his seminal work on global business and
intercultural communication. Within each country-specific chapter,
Lewis provides invaluable insight into the beliefs, values, behaviors,
mannerisms and prejudices of each culture, lending helpful advice on
topics to discuss and those to avoid when communicating, guides to
interpreting unique terminology and modes of behavior that will
contribute to successful communication and lasting relationships.
Lewis advises on overarching guidelines for proper overseas manners,
whether in a restaurant, at the home of a colleague or in the
boardroom. Using dozens of scientific, yet highly accessible diagrams
and
building on his Linear-active, Multi-active and Reactive
(LMR) culture type model, Lewis gives managers and leaders practical
strategies to embrace differences and work successfully across an
increasingly diverse business culture.
