Nisbett looks for the answers to questions such as why the Chinese never excelled at geometry, why Western infants learn nouns more rapidly than verbs and how Asians and Westerns have different ways of understanding objects and surroundings. Many of the lessons are applicable to understanding marketing theory across cultures. Steven S. Bammel reviewed this book in two parts: Part I, Part II |

The Koreans: Who They Are, What they Want, Where Their Future Lies This is not the most scholarly assessment of Korea and Koreans but it is an entertaining book by a journalist who lived in Korea for awhile. The book explains how and why he believes Koreans think and act as they do, and covers some of Korea’s recent history. Click here to read Steven S. Bammel’s review.

From a failed state with no democratic tradition, ruined and partitioned by war, and sapped by a half-century of colonial rule, South Korea transformed itself in just fifty years into an economic powerhouse and a democracy that serves as a model for other countries. |
