Product Description
More than a decade after establishing itself as the number-one book on international business etiquette, "Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands" has been fully revised to reflect the profound global transformation that has occurred since its debut. In this new edition, author Terri Morrison - the leading expert in this field - has included: comprehensive updates for each of the book's 60-plus country chapters; several brand-new sections, including Cultural IQ tests, "Know Before You Go" tips and alerts on international security; and additional chapters on Austria, Belize, Ireland, South Africa, Vietnam and the Vatican. The most comprehensive, authoritative text of its kind, the first edition of this invaluable reference guide has won a following among high-ranking military officials, influential corporate executives and business school professors alike. This new edition, with its wealth of revised material and discussions of current hot topics, is proof that such a classic only gets better with time.

Format:Paperback
I teach international business and this is one of only two books I highly recommend my students to own. My international students have said that it truly reflects their countries and I have never found it to be incorrect in my travels. The only weakness is that it doesn't cover more countries!

Received the book as a gift and have used it extensively in my travels. The book helps to get an idea of the culture and is even more applicable after initial encounter with the people. Allows insight into the workings of the local minds. I have avoided major gaffs when working in cultures not my own.

Fantastic book, I've been referring to this for nearly 10 years now since it first came out. Working as I do with many different cultures, and given the track record of my American Colleagues who don't know where Canada is (joke!) I've always found it ironic that it was an American team who wrote this book!
Anyone who is ever sceptical about the value of its content, I show them the pages for their Country, and within minutes they're sold on its value, even if there's something minor in there they can quibble about.
I especially rely on this book for the Business Practices (Appointments, Negotiating & Entertaining) and the Protocol (Greetings) sections.
I've worked in over 30 Countries, and this book has never let me down. The only times I've needed a Country that wasn't in the book was for Austria & Croatia, but you can't have everything!

Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands
This book rather stereotypes people and it is generally rather dated by many years, not just the 11 since it was originally published. Read more

A Great Resource
I can't say enough about this book. When I need a quick reference about a country and culture this is the first place I turn. The book is very easy to use organized by country. Read more

This is a great resource.
I do a lot of international business negotiations. This is a really great resource. I recommend it to anyone conducting business outside of the United States.

Good for the traveler, but not the on-line world,
Overall its a pretty good reference and will provide useful insights. However, its focus is on persons travelling to these countries. Read more
