'Saving the Sun' takes a bank that has been at the cutting edge of Japan's woes - Shinsei - and uses its story to analyse why Japan's economic problems are so insurmountable.

A revelatory model that explains how we buy, sell, work and live. For over a century, anthropologists have immersed themselves in unfamiliar cultures, uncovering the hidden rituals that govern how people act. Now, a new generation of anthropologists are using these methods in a different context - to illuminate the behaviour of businesses and consumers around the globe. In Anthro-Vision, Gillian Tett - bestselling author, Financial Times journalist, and anthropology PhD - reveals how anthropology can make sense of the corporate world. She outlines how anthropology helps explain consumer behaviour - revealing the 'webs of meaning' that underpin our shopping habits, and unpicking the subtle cultural shifts driving the rise of green business. She explores how anthropology can shed light on the workplace, identifying the hidden tribes within the office, and pinpointing which rituals are binding together a team. And she shows how we can all use anthropology in our own lives, too: helping us make better decisions, navigate risk - even work out what our peers are really thinking. Along the way, Tett draws on stories from Tajik villages and Amazon warehouses, Japanese classrooms and Wall Street trading floors, all to reveal the power of anthropology in action. The result is a wholly new way to understand human behaviour. In a short-sighted world, we can all learn to see clearly - using the power of Anthro-Vision.

W czasach, gdy świat biznesu zdominowany jest przez technologię i analizę danych, Gillian Tett wzywa do zmiany sposobu myślenia – na antropologiczny (skupiony na człowieku). Po co? Aby lepiej odczytywać zachowania klientów, rynków i organizacji, a także stawić czoła wyzwaniom, z jakimi mierzy się społeczeństwo. Siła empatii uczy, jak odczytywać myśli i emocje innych ludzi, a przez to nie tylko zrozumieć inne kultury, lecz także spojrzeć na własne otoczenie z nowej perspektywy. Pokazuje, jak ta prosta, a zarazem rewolucyjna strategia przysłużyła się firmom takim jak Intel, Nestlé, General Motors, Procter & Gamble, Mars, Danica czy wielu innym oraz jak można ją wykorzystać na co dzień zarówno w życiu, jak i w biznesie. Nie wiesz, jak się zachować na spotkaniu z przedstawicielami zagranicznej firmy? Chcesz zrozumieć fenomen ekonomiczny Doliny Krzemowej? A może oglądasz obrady sejmu i zastanawiasz się, czy za chaotycznymi wystąpieniami niektórych polityków kryje się starannie przemyślana strategia? Jeśli chcesz się nauczyć, jak ważna jest empatia w biznesie i w codziennym życiu, ta książka jest właśnie dla Ciebie.
