Road King Custom
Book Review - the Culturally Customized Web Site by Nitish Singh and Arun Pereira
In reviewing the book The Culturally Customized Web Site, by Nitish Singh and Arun Pereira there are three things that must be said:
- If you have an online business and truly want to market to international audience through your website, get this book.
- If you have an international profile and want to broaden your international outlook, get this book.
- If you are interested in different cultures and happen to own a computer, get this book
This is really the book that got me excited about international internet marketing. It was also the first book I read by non-European authors who were very obviously cultural experts. Since reading The Culturally Customized Web Site I have read many more books by non-European cultural experts. And have come to this conclusion; the time when Europeans held the lead in cultural understanding is passing.
The Culturally Customized Web Site uses the Geert Hofstede cultural classifications to show and explain what works online in different cultures. The book is largely based on how these cultural classifications can be interpreted online.
Nitish Singh and Arun Pereira break cultures down into the following categories:
- Individualism - Collectivism
- Uncertainty Avoidance
- Power Distance
- Masculinity - Femininity
- High - Low Context
Nitish Singh and Arun Pereira give examples of websites. They also give readers 36 web features to use on your website to adapt to different cultures. These web features stimulates marketers looking for strategic international marketing options.
The book is full of screen shots, examples and lists. It is inspiring and thought provoking. Spend a few minutes surfing randomly online in the countries referred to as you read the book, and it becomes easy to see and feel the cultural differences.
"Research reveals that culturally customized web sites enhance usability, accessibility, time spent at a site, and site interactivity. Also, it increases purchase intention and attitude to the site."
The Culturally Customized Web Site book has a website that is not very big, but is entertaining in its cultural examples.
This book was originally published in 2005. Since then, countries have evolved in how they use internet and in their e-commerce expansion.
I would love to see something more recent along the same lines but with examples that have evolved with the internet.
If anyone has anything similar to this book in their library, please let me know what it is. Until then, The Culturally Customized Web Site is a mandatory read for website owners that are culturally aware and willing to take advantage of this extra knowledge to better their site.

On the Road $23.77 Sal Paradise, a young writer, travels from New York to Los Angeles with his friend Dean Moriarty and an assorted hodgepodge of women, bohemians, and others. Rich descriptions of characters, places, and music demonstrate Jack Kerouac`s exuberance and his love of the freedom of the road. An autobiographical novel (like most of Kerouac`s books), ON THE ROAD involves characters who were the author`s real-life friends and Beat cohorts: Neal Cassady, Gregory Corso, Allan Ginsberg, and William Burroughs (here appearing, as in Burroughs`s own fiction, as the character Bill Lee). Publishing legend has it that Kerouac typed the manuscript frenziedly on large rolls of Teletype paper, not pausing for revision, and deposited them on the desk of his startled editor. Revolutionary not only in subject matter but also in style, this book (written in 1950) launched the Beat movement and crowned Jack Kerouac its king. |
