Bridging Cultural Barriers in China, Japan, Korea and Mexico

Understanding and Dealing with Other Cultures!

The economies of the advanced countries have gone global, but not the cultures! This creates a plethora of problems that include economic as well as political affairs, especially with countries whose cultures are often so different that compromises--much less agreements--range from difficult to impossible.

In Bridging Cultural Barriers in China, Japan, Korea and Mexico I present a series of business-oriented insights that take much of the mystery out of the mindset and behavior of the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Mexicans...all insights I gained over a period of 60 years of intimate involvment with these countries as a member of an intelligence agency, student, trade journalist and cultural analyst.

Early in that learning period I discovered that the fastest and most comprehensive gateway to understanding people of other cultures was through key words in their languages--words that were pregnant with cultural nuances and uses. I subsequently wrote a series of hefty "cultural code word" books on China, Japan, Korea and Mexico that are now widely used.

This new smaller book is an introduction to the "key word" concept, focused on China, Japan, Korea and Mexico. It is excellent background reading for business people, diplomats, political leaders, academics and students...and is available from Amazon.com. See my website, BoyeDeMente.com, for a list and synopses of the larger tomes noted above.
