Deirdre's Book

Vertical Divider
The Culture Solution introduces the ARC System™ of cultural analysis, a practical approach that applies straightforward principles to real-life situations in international business, travel, project and team management, education, mediation, conflict resolution, and more.The Culture Solution helps readers adapt to new cultural environments and deal with people from unfamiliar cultural backgrounds. Readers create profiles for eight cultural dimensions that identify their own cultural orientation and that of an international person, group, or place. By comparing the two profiles, readers identify cultural tendencies likely to cause confusion and frustration and develop strategies to manage problems, explain themselves effectively, and communicate persuasively. The Culture Solution also shows readers ways to leverage the talents of culturally diverse people and capitalize on the benefits.
