You know your business, but do you know how to most effectively manage your working relationships around the world? Today's global, 24/7 economy demands multicultural savvy. Designed for Americans doing business throughout North America and abroad, World Wise: What to Know Before You Go bridges the gap between buttoned-up culture textbooks and flippant how-to guides. This traveling companion is a handy reference providing insight into business philosophies world-wide, history of the major world regions along with details ranging from the level of communication technology available in a particular country to the appropriate conduct at business meals and meetings. Denslow's expertise—along with the interviews with other Americans and their foreign business partners—ensures that readers will learn the essentials to overcome cultural misunderstandings. Whether you work from home or travel the world, World Wise is the book you must read.
