Suitable for general readers yet intellectually challenging, the book illustrates how to thrive in unfamiliar cultures by understanding and tapping into the stress management mechanisms used by the people who live there. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book begins by refuting the notion that professional life interacts with culture only at the level of etiquette. Distinguishing between rule-based and relationship-based cultures, the author examines the roles of authority, individualism, competition, security, negotiation, contracts, supervision, lifestyle, and even humor in different cultures. He shows how different concepts of time, space, information, and wealth shape everyday life across cultures. The book concludes with a comprehensive reading list for more than one hundred countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hooker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford Business Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.40w x 1.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804748070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 1338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Hooker is the Holloran Professor of Business Ethics and Social Responsibility at Carnegie Mellon University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford Business Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44422952222835,"sku":"9780804748070","price":37.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_4fcfcbd9-9d74-4d47-8c18-41e398d9751c.jpg?v=1772543012","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/working-across-cultures-9780804748070","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
