Cultural Intelligence for Stone-Age Brains

Viac o knihe

How are Danes perceived in the rest of the world? How can we improve our ability to navigate abroad? How can newcomers be best integrated into our society and workplaces? Whether we wish to trade with Chinese, integrate employees from India, or collaborate as people from Jutland and Copenhagen, cultural habits often hinder us. Habitual thinking and a lack of cultural intelligence constantly destroy numerous opportunities, not just for us Danes, but for people all over the globe. Dennis Nørmark provides concrete examples, amusing anecdotes, and thorough research in this accessible and practical book. We gain a solid tool to make collaboration and interaction work and to turn cultural differences into an economic and human advantage rather than a problem. Ultimately, it is about the fact that our brains were built in the Stone Age, when humans only experienced one culture: their own. The book is aimed at business people, teachers, social workers, police, healthcare professionals, and indeed all professional groups that come into contact with people from cultures other than the Danish.
