by By Morrison, Terri and Conaway, Wayne A.
Category: Business & Economics , International , General

Morrison and Conaway present a guide to business travel and etiquette in Europe. They consulted with embassies, representatives from private and public sectors, and academic institutions to compile the information. Contents are arranged by country and address business-related tips; the background of the country (language, history, type of government, viewpoint); natural and human hazards; cultural orientation; business practices such as punctuality and negotiating; and protocol for greetings, forms of address, dress, and the like. A list of resources is included, but there is no bibliography. This edition takes into account countries that have dissolved or emerged since the previous one. Morrison is affiliated with an internet product and training firm for global business travelers. Conaway has co-authored several books on cross-cultural communication.
