Recommendation
Indonesians aren’t punctual, but the Germans believe timeliness is a sign of respect. The French are well educated, but elitist. And, spouses and children don’t always find living abroad to be a "grand experience." Those are just some of the things you’ll learn from Dr. Elizabeth Marx, who explores why many managers have a horrible time abroad. To help improve your managerial experience overseas, she provides a 100-plus item checklist of what to do before you leave for a foreign country, including information on whether to sell your house or have your children inoculated. Her book tells the ambitious manager Everything You Always Wanted To Know About the International Experience but Were Afraid to Ask. For instance - and this isn’t surprising considering her background in psychology - she tells corporations to provide psychological testing for employees before sending them to international posts. getAbstract says read this before you plan your bon voyage party.
