Having spent more than thirty years working in the corporate arena with much of it being either for or with large corporations, I was interested to read this book and see how much I recognised.I could easily associate with the strategies, situations and problems identified and I recognised many of the types of people described and the mistakes so easily made.On reflection I would have been better reading this book thirty years ago (had it only been available then) and I would therefore have been better prepared and saved considerable time and effort in many of my dealings.This text will be an invaluable asset to anyone considering a future with a multinational or anyone at an early stage in their career. For more seasoned executives, it can be a very useful reference and aide memoire.  It highlights core values and provides a reminder to check what stands behind the corporate structure and ethos.In today's globalised business community, there aren't many who don't work for, supply or are supplied by large corporations.  In all business you should be best prepared but it's so much more the case when dealing with the `big boys.'  It follows that this text can be essential preparation before embarking on dealings.
