CULTURE CODE, THE(ISBN=9780767920575) epub 下载 pdf 网盘 2025 mobi 在线 免费

Why are people around the world so very different? What makes

us live, buy, even love as we do? The answers are in the codes. In

"The Culture Code," internationally revered cultural anthropologist

and marketing expert Clotaire Rapaille reveals for the first time

the techniques he has used to improve profitability and practices

for dozens of Fortune 100 companies. His groundbreaking revelations

shed light not just on business but on the way every human being

acts and lives around the world. Rapaille's breakthrough notion is

that we acquire a silent system of codes as we grow up within our

culture. These codes--the Culture Code--are what make us American,

or German, or French, and they invisibly shape how we behave in our

personal lives, even when we are completely unaware of our motives.

What's more, we can learn to crack the codes that guide our actions

and achieve new understanding of why we do the things we do.

Rapaille has used the Culture Code to help Chrysler build the PT

Cruiser--the most successful American car launch in recent memory.

He has used it to help Procter & Gamble design its advertising

campaign for Folger's coffee - one of the longest lasting and most

successful campaigns in the annals of advertising. He has used it

to help companies as diverse as GE, AT&T, Boeing, Honda,

Kellogg, and L'Oreal improve their bottom line at home and

overseas. And now, in "The Culture Code," he uses it to reveal why

Americans act distinctly like Americans, and what makes us

different from the world around us. In "The Culture Code," Dr.

Rapaille decodes two dozen of our most fundamental

archetypes--ranging from sex to money to health to America

itself--to give us "a newset of glasses" with which to view our

actions and motivations. Why are we so often disillusioned by love?

Why is fat a solution rather than a problem? Why do we reject the

notion of perfection? Why is fast food in our lives to stay? The

answers are in the Codes. Understanding the Codes gives us

unprecedented freedom over our lives. It lets us do business in

dramatically new ways. And it finally explains why people around

the world really "are" different, and reveals the hidden clues to

understanding us all.

From Publishers Weekly

French-born marketing consultant and psychoanalyst Rapaille takes a

truism—different cultures are, well, different—and expands it by

explaining how a nation's history and cultural myths are

psychological templates to which its citizens respond

unconsciously. Fair enough, but after that, it's all downhill.

Rapaille intends his theory of culture codes to help us understand

"why people do what they do," but the "fundamental archetypes" he

offers are just trumped-up stereotypes. He often supports jarring

pronouncements ("The Culture Code for perfection in America is

DEATH") with preposterous generalizations and overstatements, e.g.,

Japanese men "seem utterly incapable of courtship or wooing a

woman." Writing with the na?veté of someone who has learned about

the world only through Hollywood films, he seems unaware that every

person living within a nation's borders doesn't necessarily share

the same cultural biases and references. Rapaille's successful

consulting career is evidence that he's more convincing in the

boardroom than he is on the page. Amid the overheated prose and

dubious factoids, it's easy to overlook the book's scattered

marketing proposals and employee-management tips. (June 6)
