| Synopsis: |
Exploring Culture: Exercises, Stories and Synthetic Cultures truly brings Geert Hofstede's five dimensions of national culture to life. This unique training book contains an abundance of exercises, dialogues, stories and simulations that put the five dimensions of culture (power distance, collectivism versus individualism, femininity versus masculinity, uncertainty avoidance and long term versus short term orientation) into action. Derived from these five dimensions are what Hofstede calls synthetic cultures: ten "pure" cultural types. Exploring Culture is arranged to follow the classic culture learning sequence of gaining awareness, knowledge and skills. Part light, part serious, but always thought-provoking, the book provides more than 75 activities, dialogues and stories for readers to explore and discuss. Exploring Culture is an outstanding resource for trainers and educators and the perfect complement to Hofstede's popular Cultures and Organizations.Contents Foreword Acknowledgments Introduction Part I: Stories and Exercises 1 Worlds Apart in One Village 2 Culture: The Rules of the Social Game Part II: Synthetic Cultures 3 The Ten Synthetic Culture Profiles 4 Getting to Know the Synthetic Cultures 5 Dialogues in Synthetic Culture Role 6 Summing Up Part III: Group Work and Similuations 7 Group Work for Cross-Cultural Learning 8 Using Synthetic Cultures in Simulations 9 The Trade Mission 10 Follow-the-Sun Global Technology Team References Index |
