The Chinese characters for "danger" and "opportunity" form the word
"crisis". Ancient Chinese wisdom sees an opportunity in danger.
While cultural diversity brings challenges to the workplace, how do
we turn these challenges into opportunities? Drawing on their
extensive experience working with multicultural and multinational
organizations, Lionel Laroche and Caroline Yang provide an in-depth
analysis of cross-cultural dynamics in the workplace and offer
practical suggestions at both the individual and organizational
levels. The book analyzes cross-cultural challenges in six areas:
the relative importance of technical and soft skills;
cross-cultural communication; cross-cultural feedback; hierarchy;
individualism; and risk tolerance. It then provides a solutions
framework that encompasses people, systems and environment to
bridge the issues that arise from cultural differences. The
analysis and solutions are applied in four business contexts:
managing a multicultural workforce; competing in the global talent
market; collaborating with joint venture partners; and working with
offshore resources. If you work with colleagues, managers,
employees and customers from diverse cultures, if you are with an
organization that has a multicultural workforce and/or global
operations, or if your organization collaborates with joint venture
partners or offshore resources from different cultures, then Danger
and Opportunity: Bridging Cultural Diversity for Competitive
Advantage is the book for you.
