This practical book written by Rob Mars is a result of his experiences during many years working for international companies. The author discusses various aspects of work, such as finances and the differences between American and European corporate cultures--all information which can be crucial to the aspiring executive. For example, in his chapter on communications, Mars states: "My advice is to always handle disagreements in person, or at least on the phone." He reminds us that emails can be stored indefinitely and can be used against the writer and poison relationships for a long time.  How many people fire off angry emails to their eternal regret?Those wishing to climb the corporate ladder in an international company can benefit from this and many other excellent examples of how to succeed and fail in the high stakes international business world.
