Review: nice read - This book was very well written and informative. I had to read it for a class and I’m glad too.
Review: Helpful classroom companion to Hofstede: Cultures and Organizations - This book is a helpful companion book to Gert Hofstede and Geert Hofstede's Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind. It is useful in two ways: it provides descriptions of the extremes for each of the five cultural dimensions he discusses in the basic book; and it suggests ways of conducting culture simulations. A disappointment was that the book does not lay out every last detail of a cultural simulation; rather, as I said above, it suggests a framework. The teacher is then left to his or her own creativity to flesh out the nuts and bolts of a simulation. If the teacher has not done this previously, that makes for a difficult affective barrier to climb in taking the risk of conducting such a session. That said, I still recommend this book if you intend to teach the material in Cultures and Organizations. And that material is well worth teaching! See: Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!
*by L***R on March 3, 2015*

I bought this book , because I need it to write a paper in my Psychology class for "Social-Role Theory (A.K.A. gender role theory)" my paper had to be 9 pages long ,...yes apparently that is how is done in Psychology lol. Anyway this book is fairly easy to read and understand , I love to read , but reading the scholar originals articles is hard for me , can be alot of none sense and I have to cross most with a marker because they have to credit everyone if they used it an experiment etc...like I said no fun. This book got me a 90% and the only reason I didn't get the 100% is because you were supposed to explain your paper in a presentation. Well public speaking is not my greatest asset so I froze a bit lol. I hope this help :)
