Thông tin chi tiết

Tóm tắt :

This book consists of four parts. Part I lays the foundation for a good understanding about 'culture'; provides a small vocabulary of essential terms to be used in the foolowing parts. Part II deals with differences among cultures at national level; describes the four dimensions empirically found in research across more than 50 countries: to wit power distance, collectivism versus individualism, femininity versus masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance; looks at consequences of national culture differences in the way people in a country organize themselves; brings in the fifth cross-national dimension: long-term versus short-term orientation. It also explores the implications of the fact that this dimension could only be detected with a questionaire designed by Chinese; reveals dep differences between Eastern and Western thinking related to the importance of 'virtue' versus 'truth'. Part III deals with organizational culture differences; describes the new insignts collected in IRIC's research project across 20 organizational units in Denmark and the Netherlands conducted in the period 1985-1987. Part IV deals with the practical implicationsof culture differences and similarities described so far; treats phenomena such as culture shock, ethnocentrism, stereotyping, differences in language and in humor; refers to intercultural encounters in tourism, schools, development cooperation, international negotiations, and joint business ventures; summarizes the message of the book and translates it into suggestions for parents, managers, and the media; also speculates about political developments in the coming years, an the basis of cultural processes. Finnaly, there is a literature reference list, a name index, and a subject index; the latter includes references to the glossary.
