When traveling to different countries, people need be conscious of cultural differences, many of which are extremely subtle. When conducting business, you should be prepared for nuances that aren't obvious.   Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands: Sales and Marketing is an excellent manual for people working or traveling abroad. There's too much at risk to make faux-pas that could be avoided and might very well kill a deal. Terri Morrison's book can demystify the ways others conduct business and more.

Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands is the perfect supplement to my Business Communications courses: it introduces students to the concept that how we do it 'over here' isn't necessarily how they do it 'over there', and being unaware of that basic fact can doom your cross-cultural business transactions. Students tell me it's the most important lesson they learn all semester.
Kris Swank, Business Instructor, Northern Arizona University
