In the Know in the USA

Coming to work in the U.S. for the first time? How's a foreigner to know that when we say "drop by anytime" we don't really mean it? Success abroad, in business and in social situations, requires a firm understanding of local culture. Expressions of courtesy and subtle differences in attitude and behavior can make or break a business deal or even a casual friendship. Avoid cultural pitfalls with In the Know. This series includes all-new guides for Japan and the U.S.A., and updated editions for China, Germany, and Mexico & Central America. The In the Know series is an essential tool for businesspeople and their families who are living or working outside of their home countries. It sets out all of the common cultural pitfalls and offers advice to help make sense out of being "a stranger in a strange land." Learn to navigate the workplace (meetings, negotiations, business attire) to making it through everyday life -- grocery shopping, finding a doctor, driving tips, and meeting people. Now this is really something you don't want to leave home without!
