Hi, and welcome to the Decoding Culture Podcast on This is HCD. The podcast focuses on the importance that culture plays in all areas of business and society, form how it shapes organisations to how it influences consumer experience, design, and larger societal trends. My name is John Curran and I’m your host. I’m a business anthropologist, executive coach, and CEO of JC and Associates, which is a consultancy that explores how culture shaped organisations and consumer behaviour. For this episode, I want to start with a question, why are companies and brands turning to business anthropology to understand their consumers and organisations? To answer this and to discuss the value of business anthropology in general, I spoke with Bob Morais, a business anthropologist and adjunct professor at Columbia Business School in New York.
