Why
~ Unique aspects of the Product Manger's role*
~ Boundary role between market & enterprise and various communities within the enterprise
~ At the intersection of conflicting & ambiguous internal-external and formal-informal forces
~ Anthropology and the Culture of Product Managers**
~ “Product managers ... a pattern of them straddling multiple cultures within an organization ... the organizational (business) culture ... their own unique (product management) subculture ... different functional/departmental cultures.”
~ “The product manager ... requires that they develop a unique set of interpersonal relationship skills, and those who truly excel possess a superior cross-cultural skill set as well.”
~ “Brand Is Culture, Culture Is Brand” (Bill Taylor, Fast Company, September 2010)
~ “Your Culture Is Your Brand” (Tony Hsieh, Zappos, January 2009, June 2010)
~ “Brand Culture” (ID Branding)
