Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Dr Elisabeth Marx has written an invaluable self-assessment guide to succeeding in international work--according to the author, one of the most stimulating and positive career experiences. A Director of the worldwide executive search company, Norman Broadbent International, where she focuses on the search for, and psychological development of, international executives, Dr Marx argues that culture shock, or 'the experience of foreignness' has become the critical factor for success in today's global business environment.
Focusing on the culture-shock triangle, a new model which shows you how to behave and think differently and balance your emotions, the book uses case studies to highlight means of coping with the highs and lows, in order to retain a sense of your own identity while achieving an international identity. As well as expert advice for both singles and working partners living overseas, helping children adapt to a different culture, relocation checklists, medical issues in tropical countries and returning home, there's also guidance for companies selecting and looking after international executives.
While international business leaders share their views on the subject and offer inspirational nuggets, the final chapter is a self-assessment exercise looking at the motivation, expectations and self-reliance necessary for successful global work whether abroad, at home in an international company or working as part of a cross-functional team in cyberspace.--Carey Green -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
From Booklist
Marx defines culture shock as "the experience of foreignness," and calls it both an occupational hazard and an opportunity. She sees its effects in her work as director of international consultancy for the executive search firm Norman Broadbent Selection. She also experienced it firsthand when, as a psychologist, she went to Britain to complete her postgraduate studies. Designed as a "self-coaching guide," Marx's book examines the phenomenon of culture shock as she details the three sides of the "culture shock triangle": emotions, thinking, and social skills and identity. She offers coping strategies for moving from euphoria to depression to contentment, from stereotyping to culturally effective thinking, and from national to transnational social skills and an international identity. Marx also outlines practical steps one can take to further a successful international career, summarizing characteristics of the world's main business cultures and considering the impact on one's personal life and family.

A good blend of work experiences by people from all over the world with emphasis on identifying the "best practices" of preparing, working and returning from an overseas work assignment. Especially effective was the analysis of the psychological aspects of life in other countries/cultures, which included comprehensive views from both the worker and their families perspectives. Overall, the book was a fairly effective in helping me to prepare for my recent overseas long-term work assignment.

Breaking down invisible barriers to success.

Despite the praise for this book from a senior partner in Arthur Andersen which graces the first page of the text, this is an excellent management text.
As an ex Englishman near New York, one of the surprising things to learn, and thus the point of this book, is that cultural differences can affect us and our work performances.
It is often said that Britain and America are separated by a common language but this does not really convey the full extent of the differences between the two nations. The situation is made more difficult by the fact that American culture has established a hedgemony around the world and particularly so in the UK.
This book is a must read for anyone accepting a post in a foreign country and anyone relocating abroad. Indeed some of the lessons of this book can be usefully applied to different jobs not just different countries.
I like the structure of the book and in particular the focus on the book as a tool to be used and not just read. The use of case studies is very helpful although I personally do not appreciate the manner in which they are written. I would have liked some of them at least to be expressed in a more formal manner with actual references to be used where possible but this is a minor gripe.
Breaking through Culture Shock is written in a very user friendly manner and in a size that is easily followed.
Elisabeth Marx really has hit the nail on the head with this text which has a broad scope great applicability across the continents. My one concern would be with Chapter 5 where she looks at some country specific cases but which excludes Japan. Given that country's importance to business in the world one would think that it warranted inclusion.
That aside, I would highly recommend this book to anyone thinking about embarking on a move abroad and those who have already made a move, whether it be temporary or permanent.
Just a thought, but it would be interesting to see an American author tackle this subject in the same way.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Indonesians aren't punctual, but the Germans believe timeliness is a sign of respect. The French are well educated, but elitist. And, spouses and children don't always find living abroad to be a "grand experience." Those are just some of the things you'll learn from Dr. Elizabeth Marx, who explores why many managers have a horrible time abroad. To help improve your managerial experience overseas, she provides a 100-plus item checklist of what to do before you leave for a foreign country, including information on whether to sell your house or have your children inoculated. Her book tells the ambitious manager Everything You Always Wanted To Know About the International Experience but Were Afraid to Ask. For instance - and this isn't surprising considering her background in psychology - she tells corporations to provide psychological testing for employees before sending them to international posts. We [...] say read this before you plan your bon voyage party.
