Breaking Through Culture Shock: What You Need to Succeed in International Business. by Marx, Elisabeth - 2001

London: Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2001. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear. 233 pp. Why do some international managers succeed while nearly half of their U.S. counterparts fail? According to insider Elisabeth Marx, the answer is culture shock -- the failure to adjust to people with different motivations, behaviors, and ways of making decisions. Whether working as part of a cross-functional team in cyberspace or on long-term assignment in another country, Marx draws on her own consulting and research work, and on interviews with such international business leaders as Peter Job of Reuters, to show just what it takes to create a successful experience working internationally.
