When Cultures Collide: Managing Successfully Across… di Richard D. Lewis
Un libro che posseggo dal 1997, quasi venti anni. Si sono susseguite diverse edizioni, le culture continuano a scontrarsi e non sembra che le cose siano destinate a cambiare. Quando il libro uscì non c'era ancora la globalizzazione, Internet era alle origini, il mondo non era ancora diventato "liquido". Devo procurarmi la nuova edizione e vedere come le cose si sono evolute. Ma ne vale poi la pena? Non credete che le cose vanno sempre allo stesso modo ... ma in maniera diversa?
Surprising book. What cultural differences really mean and how to get past them. Highly relevant to this world right now.
This book is a little repetitive in places and, considering there are only 202 pages, it did seem to drag a bit. Having said that, the content itself is absolutely fascinating. Before reading this book, I rarely thought about Finland except to note that they had a good education system - I didn't even know where they are located on the map. Finland, Cultural Lone Wolf has opened my eyes to the unique and admirable nature of this people.
Finland ranks among the top few countries for global competitiveness, environmental sustainability, water resource management, minimal bureaucracy and least corruption. They lead the world in health, technology, education and gender equality, are known in the United Nations as the 'Super Peacekeeper' and are proportionally the biggest library users in the world - six million visits per annum.
This book is an interesting study of one of the world's least lauded nations, and it has left me with an immense respect for the Finnish people.… (altro)
