Book Reviews of The Culture Code: An Ingenious Way to Understand Why People Around the World Live and Buy as They Do

Book Review: Cracking the Culture Code
Summary: 5 Stars

A cross-cultural consultant colleague of mine recommended this book to me. As a professor of undergraduate and graduate courses and also a cross-cultural consultant myself, I found Rapaille's book to be both approachable and useful.

He writes in a a way that US business leaders can ascertain most quickly what code works in what market for different products.

I have not seen many books on this topic, so I recommend Rapaille's approach as it contains valuable information for combining business with the most overlooked component of business: culture.
