"When managing cross-culturally in a polarized world, recognizing similarities and establishing common ground can be key to success. This book argues that despite differences in language, political systems, income levels, and other factors, people are people. There is no doubt that cultural differences should be understood and appreciated, not only because this is the right thing to do in a multicultural world, but because failure to understand these differences when doing business can result in costly mistakes. But when managing people, what matters most is showing respect and interest - because what motivates (and de-motivates) is the same regardless of cultural background. This book explains and illustrates eight themes in which people are very similar across cultures, including trust, fairness, integrity, and, though often overlooked in an organizational context, the reasons why people work. Business leaders, human resources professionals, organizational consultants, and students in these fields will appreciate this fresh perspective on people management, and mini-cases and interviews with senior executives provide inspiring real-world examples. Supplementary materials available online include slides, additional cases, videos, and more"--

"The Ecosystem Mindset takes a hard look at the emerging Ecosystem Economy, and what it means for companies once siloed by sector. It explores how and why we got here, beginning with the foundations of the sector-centered economy and bringing us up to today--the earliest chapter in the ecosystem economy's history. Readers will see that the truly successful companies are not the ones that have brought old-school best practices to bear on the new economy, but the companies that have thrown out those best practices altogether--the companies that have adopted entirely new mindsets and strategies for this entirely new game. The authors then explain why adopting a new playbook is so important. They show that ecosystems players stand to partake in more than $60 trillion of new value, and they will also show that this new economy ecosystem is here to stay. In fact, they explore how the ecosystem economy might continue to evolve, dissolving traditional industry barriers once and for all and giving way to an entirely new playing field where sector-system strategies will become entirely untenable. Finally, they introduce an ecosystem playbook--the philosophies and strategies that enterprises will need to adopt in order to survive and thrive in this future. As the barriers between industries come down, we are all going to need to reshape our thinking about competition, partnership, value, and process. This book engages the reader to consider a new playbook for doing business in a world of digital ecosystems"--
