Format:Paperback
I've been traveling to the US for most of my career, and really wish I'd read this at the beginning. Some of the tips about the American values, how they conduct business, negotiate, look at the world was so insightful. My favourite chapter is "Who's the Boss?" which described our American managing director perfectly... hats off to these two authors who have written a great, friendly and very usable reference book -- certain chapters are getting so worn I may need to buy another copy.

This book has helped many of us at American Express in Europe and the US -- it's well-written, informative and has lots of very practical advice for how to understand the American psyche in the business context.

The book is a great collection of practical advice from two experienced authors. Unlike some business books, this one is written by people who understand both Americans and non-Americans that do business with them. As an American, I learned valuable information about how we are seen by others, especially Europeans. This knowledge will help in my international business and cultural interactions. I highly recommend the book for Americans and for those doing business with Americans--even those with years of this international experience will benefit from the book's insights.
