Books in this area tend to be either theoretical or a how-to. Intercultural Business Communication In The Global Workplace provides a unique approach: a solid theoretical foundation and a very lively writing style full of personal examples culled from the authors' experience living and working abroad. The authors zero in on the specific needs of a firm, from broad cultural and business values to the influence of culture on negotiations, to the structure of the firm and the richness of the message. Legal issues in intercultural business communication are covered extensively. Opening chapters contain detailed discussion of cultural values that influence intercultural business communication.
