The Culture Solution

"This book has it all." Craig Storti, author of The Art of Doing Business Across Cultures

Many people today are expected to manage intercultural teams, serve culturally diverse customers and communities, and support partnerships with international companies and governments. If you are one of them, this book is for you.

It will help you discern the cultural orientation of international contacts, no matter where they-or you-are from, and understand behavior and expectations in any environment you encounter.

The Culture Solution is a practical system that applies straightforward principles to real-life situations. It will guide you in creating strategies for managing cultural differences and learning from the approaches of new counterparts.

You will learn to adapt to new cultural environments and deal with people from unfamiliar cultural backgrounds as you develop the skills you need to anticipate challenges and promote your agenda in culturally appropriate ways.

“"The Culture Solution has it all: a deep command of the key intercultural concepts, scores of spot-on, real world examples, pages of immensely practical and instantly applicable advice-all in language immediately accessible to the non-specialist reader. This is a book to read and savor, but most of all it is a book to be used."-- Craig Storti, internationally recognized intercultural trainer and consultant, author of many books including The Art of Doing Business across Cultures”
