My review:
“Although our global village speaks a uniform
business language, still there are many cultures that practice dissimilar
habits and customs.”
Yeah! The world has become a global village
and the ease of doing business had enhanced a lot in the last decade. To do
business with the people of the other part of the world, you have to learn the
tricks of the trade and most essentially the culture of that country.
Tami has explained in detail about the IBL
and the pros and cons of doing business with the people on the other part of
the world.
The moment I read the book blurb, I was
pretty confident about the fact that this is the kind of book that will both be
interesting and informative at the same time, and the book lived up to its
expectations.
The book describes in detail about the cultural
shock one gets when moving to another country and how to represent yourself,
abiding with the local customs and culture. And how a person feels once he
comes back to his home country, the rejection he faces and how to overcome it.
Tami has explained how women have taken the
top executive positions in the world in the last few decades and how the
thought process of a woman differs from that of a man.
To give a clear idea about what happens in a
man’s and woman’s life in the latter stages of life she had beautifully
described the initial stages of growth of boys and girls. I found myself
accepting what she wrote and was laughing at the truth she put light on boy’s
growing stages. Though not completely
oblivious of girls growing stages, but the information that I received from the
book about girls, gave an idea about the decisions they take and how small and
little game playing lessons can impact a lot on a person’s life, at a later
stage.
One of the best books of its kind and genre!
A must read for anyone who is willing to learn the basics of International
Business Language.
