The New International Manager ^{2nd Ed.}

'Global Business' is more than a vision of the future; it is a present reality for hundreds of thousands of managers from enterprises great and small.

If you are one of them, and travel on business, you know that cross-cultural dealings make great demands on your interpersonal skills

The territory is strange and local habits perplexing. You know that forming good relationships is essential to doing good business, but how are you doing in those relationships?

Your messages were strong and clear back at home, but how do they sound in this new environment, when they fall on foreign ears?

The New International Manager invites you to assess your own attitudes and performance, as a business partner and as a communicator. The book is packed with case studies, checklists, games and quizzes. It challenges your assumptions and offers practical advice – whether you are heading for a major conference, a hard negotiation, a presentation, or a weekend's trout fishing with a key client.
