New book presents Swiss ways of thinking and behaving
In ‘The New Beyond Chocolate – Understanding Swiss Culture’ FHNW lecturer Margaret Oertig-Davidson presents Swiss cultural values as described by local people and incomers to Switzerland. The book shares their stories and insights, showing how Swiss people think and behave in different situations – at work or university, in their neighbourhoods and friendship groups or when travelling abroad.
Topics addressed include ritual greetings, loose and tight time, talking personally, emotional expression, criticism, tips for job seekers, attitudes to bosses, consensus at work and the challenge of learning Swiss German.
