Product Description

Review
The Spectator Particularly helpful advice on conversational pitfalls. --The Spectator

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands, 16 Jun 2005
By A Customer
This book rather stereotypes people and it is generally rather dated by many years, not just the 11 since it was originally published. It is veyrr obvious that the authors are American. The chapter called "England" shows a map of Great Britain, although it does eventually go to to give a distinction of the UK and Great Britain without showing country borders on the map. The comment that "men should wear laced shoes" really made me chuckle.
We are all a bit more global these days e.g. in the UK we have regrettably "taken on" many aspects of US culture/lifestyle.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book has been very helpful, 3 Aug 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for international business travelers, 16 Jun 1999
By A Customer
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!
