Description:Cultural differences among group members, whether they belong to multinational business teams or culturally diverse families, are frequently the sources of misunderstanding and conflict. Using examples from a variety of cultures to illustrate techniques for resolving these conflicts, Conflict Across Cultures: A Unique Experience of Bridging Differences demystifies the complex ways in which misunderstandings can arise as a result of cultural differences. The authors describe and identify the processes, tools and skills that make for successful conflict resolution. Most importantly, the stories at the heart of the book are culturally and geographically diverse, applicable for groups in a wide range of settings: business, law, social service, government, non-government agencies, academic and at home.Conflict Across Cultures is an excellent bridging book. It is both a celebration and explanation of culture as a set of geographies, something that cumulatively surrounds and grounds us and that, like it or not, we carry inside us. -Peter S.
