SynopsisThe keys to adapting to--and succeeding in--any culture: "Highly recommended reading for business people." -- Library Journal In today's global economy, the ability to interact effectively across cultures is a fundamental job requirement for just about everyone.

This extensively revised third edition has been updated with new stories showing cultural intelligence in action.
