Richard Lewis provides a truly global and practical guide to working and communicating across cultures. The successful managers of the 21st century will be the culturally sensitive ones.

There are penetrating insights into how different business cultures accord status, structure their organizations and view the role of leader, alongside invaluable advice on global negotiation, sales and marketing. The book ranges from differences in etiquette and body language to new thinking in the areas of international management and team-building in Europe and the USA, as well as covering challenging new geographical ground in Russia, China and the Far East.
