註釋
"Reports the problems of adaptation faced by 1,500 German construction workers and engineers who went to Rourkela, India, in 1957 to build a steel mill ... Points out that the German technicians were totally unprepared for life in a strange environment. Their prejudices, personal characteristics, and inability to adapt to the country and its people made collaboration difficult. On the other hand, the Indians' attitudes and ways of life made acceptance of the foreigners slow and painful. The clash of behavioral patterns and values constantly threatened the success of the project and affected all aspects of human relations ... [The author] applies his knowledge of human behavior and of interpersonal and intergroup relations to the problems that arise when people from industrialized societies confront the populations of pre-industrialized countries"--Dust jacket.
