There is a high probability that IT products and services developed in one country may not be effectively used in another country, which may hinder their market penetration, sales, and use. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on research and practice\u003cb\u003e, Cross-Cultural Design for IT Products and Services\u003c\/b\u003e provides a resource for human factors engineers, designers, and marketing professionals who define and develop IT products and services for the global market. With its extensive review of cross-cultural theory and cross-cultural design literature, it is also a resource for those who are interested in research on cross-cultural design. The book presents an overview of the dimensions of culture that have implications for human information processing and affective response. It examines a set of user interface design guidelines grouped into five areas: language, use of color, icons and images, navigation, and information architecture. Also, it addresses physical ergonomics and anthropometry issues. The text translates theory and guidelines into a practical methodology and discusses how to integrate methods of cross-cultural design into a standard engineering process for product development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors review and reappraise theories, models, principles, and techniques for design of IT products and services that will be marketed globally. They provide guidelines for user interface design across North American, Asian, and other cultures. Applying the guidelines within the methodological framework provided will enhance the usability and effectiveness of the IT product or service, and contribute to greater user satisfaction, increased productivity, higher sales, and lower product support costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pei-Luen Rau,Tom Plocher,Yee-Yin Choong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367380560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367380564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Pei-Luen Rau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447719211263,"sku":"9780367380564","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67e04bd4-6a57-4b41-8565-86e056149450.jpg?v=1777234345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cross-cultural-design-for-it-products-pei-luen-rau-9780367380564","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
