Summary
An international business expert helps you understand and navigate cultural differences in this insightful and practical guide, perfect for both your work and personal life.
Americans precede anything negative with three nice comments; French, Dutch, Israelis, and Germans get straight to the point; Latin Americans and Asians are steeped in hierarchy; Scandinavians think the best boss is just one of the crowd. It's no surprise that when they try and talk to each other, chaos breaks out. In The Culture Map, INSEAD professor Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain in which people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together. She provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business, and combines a smart analytical framework with practical, actionable advice.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

a difficult listen
well read, but I was so glad when it ended.
written before the pandemic and glorifying travel this feels like a real anachronism unsuited to the needs of 2021 when the pressures of inappropriate carbon footprint, work at the speed of data, poor global supply chain management and increasingly fractional roles mean it's academic thesis resonates far less strongly. add in too little weight to the individual and the globalisation of business culture by the combination of social media, global investment portfolios and personality I really felt the balance of the book was flawed.
it bears an arrogance of writing and apparent need to analyse rather than encourage empathy which I'm afraid left me struggling to consider it a useful reference text, but rather a near history of a different era

Must read for an international corporation worker
Would strongly recommend to all international corporation workers, especially managers. Eye opening, easy to digest read.

Great book
I recently moved from Brazil to UK, for a new job. Moved with my family, so it’s a new job for me and new life for us. The book was so useful to understand some situations that I already experienced in my professional life, working with multicultural teams and I’m sure it will help me deal better with my new life.

Fascinating way of understanding cultural challenges
Erin has a great approach to help us understand different cross cultural challenges. Her methods explain how to deal with different situations in a structural way and concrete manner. As an Indonesian who was born and raised in Indonesia with an eastern family tradition - lived in India, Turkey, and now in France and work regularly in the UK, I encounter these cross cultural challenges in everyday’s life. After listening to this Culture Map audiobook, I feel like I am given the tool to handle the frustrations caused by these cross cultural challenges. Erin offers strategic solutions to be applied effectively in dealing with those challenges. Best audiobook of the year. Thumbs up and bravo Erin!

Irritating AI/ electronic sounding voice
I found this quite hard to listen to as it sounds as though it is voiced by a machine.
Really interesting subject and content but the voice got so annoying I will read the book instead.

A very engaging listen
I really enjoyed the example stories, they illustrate the points well. The narrators voice was easy to understand and follow.
