About the book
How cultural differences shape international business is the subject Erin Meyer takes on, offering a field-tested model for reading colleagues, clients and suppliers from other countries. She contrasts Americans who soften criticism with three positive comments against French, Dutch, Israeli and German colleagues who state it plainly, and sets hierarchical Latin American and Asian workplaces beside Scandinavian ones where the best boss is one of the group. Cases include a Brazilian manager trying to understand how his Chinese suppliers work and an American team leader handling Russian and Indian team members. Meyer pairs an analytical framework with practical advice for executives and managers in global and virtual teams.
OutSystems CEO Paulo Rosado called it the book that impressed him most lately, saying its framework helps a company with Dutch, Portuguese, British and American staff understand why colleagues react as they do.

Paulo Rosado (CEO/OutSystems)
The one book that impressed me the most lately is The Culture Map. [...] For an organization like OutSystems where we have Dutch, we have people from Dubai, we have Portuguese, we have British, we have Americans [...] The book is fantastic and from all the examples I've seen, it creates a framework for two people that are from different cultures to actually understand why the other react the way they are [...] and so it helps into a lot of the communication process.
