Observation from Classmate (Greg Woo)

The large book on our Reading List: Managing Cultural Differences: Global Leadership strategies for the 21st Century (Moran 2007) has some good content regarding this query. It contains more background and history information (important for understanding the drivers behind the cultural behaviors) and less application-oriented "do this" directives than the Berlitz materials, however "how-to" guidance can backfire without an adequate understanding of the "whys."
