Description
'Managing Cultural Diversity in Technical Professions' provides managers of technical professionals with clear and tested strategies to
improve communication and increase productivity among culturally diverse technical professionals, teams, and departments.
Dr. Laroche
outlines the differences in education and training, career expectations, communication styles, and management expectations in countries
around the world. He explains cross-cultural concepts and presents his case for the importance of cross-cultural competence supported
by hard data, including charts, tables, and readily accessible schematics.
You'll benefit from the author's experience and expertise
as a manager and consultant in this area, illustrated by numerous anecdotes, critical incidents, and mini case studies, centered around
two central themes:
* Most technical professionals do not recognize the impact of cultural differences in their work
* Cross-cultural
issues lead to a significant under-utilization of talent and affect productivity negatively
'Managing Cultural Diversity in Technical
Professions' offers proven tactics for improving your personal effectiveness and the efficiency of your multicultural teams, breaking
the communication barrier in the multicultural workplace.
Audience
US and Canadian managers of technical professionals in teams, departments, and companies.
