"The way the coaching market works"
Coaches, HR managers and executives are introduced with this practices oriented book to a more profound and manifold perspective on the coaching field in Germany.
The two prominent authors dare a long overdue sort through the wildly sprouting coaching jungle. Their findings are based on highly interesting study results of a current inquiry, which they conducted in the spring 2004 among coaches and personnel managers. These findings are included into their descriptions as well as the results from different current comparative studies and/or from surveys, which Boening-Consult has conducted in the past.
Hereby, they do not only succeed in sketching a very precise picture of the scene and its characteristics but also draw partial provocative conclusions and support these very lively in incorporating their great wealth of experience. This book is needed by everyone, who wants to know how the coaching market works.
Uwe Boening (Ed.) Intercultural Business Competence
FAZ publishing house, 2000ISBN: 3-933180-44-9
price: 36.00 EUR
Cultural differences require behavioural adaptations in regard to the individual culture. These adaptations are especially important in business settings. In order to work successfully within a globalized business world, it is no longer sufficient to possess technical and social know-how. In addition, intercultural competence has become a must, according to the Frankfurt management consultant Uwe Böning. Without this skill it has become impossible to operate successfully on a international level. In his book Böning goes beyond a mere theoretical reviews of culture and history of other countries. The main part of the book is a vast collection of interviews with high-level executives of international organizations. These reports contain intercultural experiences and draw a pictures of business life in Africa, North and South America, Asia and Russia, which can be neither found in travel guides nor in other media. This practical manual also contains a detailed questionnaire, to help readers prepare for the conditions of cultural business settings and measure one’s sensitivity for cultural differences.
