Managing Mindsets

Mijnd Huijser • Boek • paperback

• Samenvatting
  Cultural diversity enriches the business world as well as society. Yet, the cultural advantage does not always arise spontaneously. Twelve real-life cases show the bumpy road to better understanding culture’s ways.
  The cases are presented by ten cross-cultural experts, whose daily work amounts to managing mindsets.
  The authors, Mijnd Huijser and Danaë Huijser, analyse each case, using the highly practical Model of Freedom to interpret cultural behaviour.
  Professionals in the international arena, who are involved in change processes, personal growth, conflict resolution, recruitment, social integration or mergers and acquisitions, will benefit from the practitioners’ perspectives in this book.
  
  Mijnd Huijser is a cross-cultural professional and author of the bestselling book The Cultural Advantage. He holds an academic degree in Philosophy and Cultural Anthropology. His daughter Danaë Huijser is a cross-cultural consultant, trainer and coach. She holds academic degrees in Organisational Psychology and International Business.

  I am entirely cured from my disillusionment with the state of cross-cultural training. This book presses the right button on many issues from which classic cross-cultural theory shies away. Practitioners will feel at ease with its pragmatic approach.

  Strategy: Process, Content, Context
  The real-life examples get the reader thinking about how diverse international business cultures can be and what to do about it.
