Description
Managing Change Across Corporate Cultures uncovers the mysterious influence of corporate culture on every aspect of the performance of a business. It shows ways of shaping high-performing corporate cultures in a complex international environment. This book continues the tradition of earlier Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turners landmark bestsellers, Riding the Waves of Culture, Managing Change Across Corporate Cultures to show exactly how to create an environment where astonishing business breakthroughs are possible. The authors show how to renew cultures as part of change and how to integrate cultures successfully following mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures.
Review
Consultants Fons Trompenaars and Peter Prud'homme thoroughly explore issues in corporate culture, and focus on managing change across different cultures. They first analyze existing corporate culture analysis models highlighting their shortcomings and offer their new model for analyzing and assessing corporate culture. Yet another model for more accurately assessing corporate culture will primarily interest academics while general business readers will find more use for the brief but interesting case studies of companies that successfully managed cultural conflict while becoming global leaders: Nokia, Ikea, Applied Materials, Acer and Suez. Recommended to anyone who must resolve cultural issues in the wake of a merger or acquisition.
