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 &amp; 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&amp;T, Boeing, Honda, Kellogg, and L’Oréal 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 new set 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.

The Global Code: How a New Culture of Universal Values Is Reshaping Business and Marketing

For decades, Clotaire Rapaille's work focused on how people's relationships with the most important concepts in their lives―love, health, and money, for instance―are guided by subconscious cultural messages. But recently, he has uncovered a new phenomenon: a "global unconscious," or core values and feelings that are consistent worldwide―the result of our constant interconnectedness. He has also identified a new group who are paving the way for the future of decision-making: the Global Tribe. These individuals are fluent in the language of culture, untied to any notion of nationalism or ideology. They are defining the key values driving our new world economy, with profound implications for how companies market their products and services.
Rapaille takes us on a journey through China, Brazil, India, England and everywhere in between to discover the new standards for luxury, pleasure, technology and education. How can elite brands compete in a world of knockoffs? How can universities maintain their prestige when a cheap master's degree or doctorate is only a click away? We must speak the language of the Global Tribe in order to succeed.
Building on seven years of research, Rapaille analyzes how this new mindset has taken hold in various regions, and how marketers and service providers can tailor their offerings and marketing accordingly. The Global Code is an invaluable glimpse at how our new multi-sphere world is affecting us all.

Chaque pays a ses propres empreintes culturelles qui déterminent des comportements : de la vie privée, de la vie sociale.Depuis des années, au service des plus grandes entreprises du monde et même de certains hommes politiques, Clotaire Rapaille a mis au point une méthode, une sorte de crible, qui permet de comprendre ce qui est sous jacent à nos gestes. 
Pourquoi Américain et Français ont-ils une conception fondamentalement différente de l’amour entre les sexes et de la séduction ? Les codes correspondants à la nourriture et à l’alcool varient selon les pays pour des raisons plus psychologiques que physiologiques. Quant à ceux liés au travail et à l’argent, ils sont viscéralement anciens dans l’histoire de chaque nation.L’usage de cette grille a permis à Clotaire Rapaille d’obtenir de formidables succès dans le domaine du marketing et de la vente. Il a fait évoluer les designers de Chrysler pour concevoir le modèle singulier de la PT cruiser ; aidé Nestlé à pénétrer le marché japonais avec du café instantané… et aujourd’hui il conseille Match.com dans sa lutte contre Meetic.com.Culture codes, à travers de nombreux exemples de la vie quotidienne et professionnelle, nous explique aussi pourquoi et comment les peuples de la planète sont profondément différents et il nous donne les clefs pour les comprendre plus intimement.

¿Por qué algunas culturas avanzan y otras no? La vida es movimiento y la dirección de este movimiento es hacia arriba. Si todos debemos movernos para sobrevivir, vale la pena preguntarse:¿qué factores de nuestro entorno nos impulsan a movernos y cuáles, por el contrario, nos detienen?¿Por qué algunas personas tienen la oportunidad de moverse hacia donde quieren y otras no?¿Por qué ciertas sociedades evolucionan y otras no? Para responder a estas interrogantes, los autores del libro estudiaron los códigos culturales y el comportamiento Bio-Lógico de 71 países para desarrollar un índice de que permite medir la movilidad social dentro de estas sociedades. Andrés Roemer y Clotaire Rapaille señalan que las culturas más exitosas son aquellas que han sabido preservar los mejores aspectos de su tradición, al mismo tiempo que han estado dispuestas a innovar y buscar nuevos horizontes. Se trata de sociedades abiertas al cambio y sin temor al statu quo. Otra clave del éxito evolutivo de las sociedades es el equilibrio entre el aspecto biológico (determinado por cuatro factores: supervivencia, sexo, seguridad y superación) y el aspecto cultural. El reto, concluyen los autores, es aprender a armonizar nuestros instintos (nuestro cerebro reptiliano) con nuestras emociones (nuestro cerebro límbico) y nuestra lógica (el neocórtex). ENGLISH DESCRIPTION If we all know we must move to survive, shouldn't we ask ourselves which factors in our environment propel us and which halt us? Why do certain societies evolve while others don't? In this book, Andrés Roemer and Clotaire Rapaille point out that the most successful cultures are those that are not afraid of the status quo: they have learned to preserve the best qualities of their traditions while being open to innovation and to uncovering new horizons. Another key to the success of these societies is the equilibrium between biological and the cultural aspects. The challenge is to harmonize our instincts, our emotions, and our logic.
