The culture map: Decoding How People Think, Lead, and Get Things Done Across Cultures
Auteur : Erin Meyer
Editeur : PublicAffairs
Année de parution : 2016
Mots clés : Culture, multiculturel, diversité, Leadership
Résumé
Whether you work in a home office or abroad, business success in our ever more globalized and virtual world requires the skills to navigate through cultural differences and decode cultures foreign to your own.
Renowned expert Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain where people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together. Even with English as a global language, it’s easy to fall into cultural traps that endanger careers and sink deals when, say, a Brazilian manager tries to fathom how his Chinese suppliers really get things done, or an American team leader tries to get a handle on the intra-team dynamics between his Russian and Indian team members.
In The Culture Map, Erin Meyer provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business. She combines a smart analytical framework with practical, actionable advice for succeeding in a global world.
Cultures et organisations : nos programmations mentales (3eme edition)
Auteurs : Geert Hofstede, Michael Minkov
Editeur : Pearson
Année de parution : 2010
Mots clés : Culture, diversité, organisations
Résumé
Cultures et organisations est le fruit de plus de 40 ans de recherches menées dans plus de 100 pays. Il est aujourd’hui le livre de référence des chercheurs, universitaires et professionnels en management interculturel, sociologie des organisations, psychosociologie…
Dans un monde divisé malgré la globalisation et l’avènement des nouvelles technologies, cet ouvrage est d’autant plus essentiel pour comprendre les origines des conflits culturels et permettre enfin la mise en place d’une coopération pacifique dans l’intérêt de tous.
Dans cette nouvelle édition, les auteurs complètent leur étude des années 1970 menée auprès des employés d’IBM à travers le monde, en utilisant des sources de données récentes, comme le World Values Survey, fondé sur des échantillons représentatifs de la population d’une centaine de nations et de régions, y compris l’ex-bloc soviétique.
Ils identifient aujourd’hui six dimensions dans les différences culturelles (la distance hiérarchique, le contrôle de l’incertitude, l’individualisme/le collectivisme, la féminité/la masculinité, l’orientation au court terme/long terme et l’indulgence/la sévérité) et distinguent cultures organisationnelles et nationales.
Les auteurs analysent également l’influence des cultures nationales sur le traitement des problèmes économiques, commerciaux, politiques, éthiques et religieux de nos sociétés contemporaines, en étudiant par exemple les racines culturelles de la crise économique qui a commencé en 2007. Ils prêtent une attention particulière aux rencontres entre cultures dans un contexte de mondialisation (éducation, tourisme, communications en ligne, négociations internationales), ainsi qu’à la communication interculturelle, offrant une aide précieuse pour évaluer concrètement l’impact des différences culturelles, en particulier dans la gestion des entreprises.
Beyond culture – (3eme édition)
Auteur : Edward T. Hall
Editeurs : Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group (1976) / Anchor
Année de parution : 1976
Résumé
From a renowned American anthropologist comes a proud celebration of human capacities.
For too long, people have taken their own ways of life for granted, ignoring the vast, international cultural community that surrounds them. Humankind must now embark on the difficult journey beyond culture, to the discovery of a lost self a sense of perspective. By holding up a mirror, Hall permits us to see the awesome grip of unconscious culture. With concrete examples ranging from James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake to the mating habits of the bowerbird of New Guinea, Hall shows us ourselves.
Beyond Culture is a book about self-discovery; it is a voyage we all must embark on if mankind is to survive.
