Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) November 28, 2010 - When working or dealing with individuals and executives overseas, it is not enough that you can speak their language. One should have a deep understanding of customs and values, as well as concepts of time and space.
Melissa Lamson, with years of experience in creating and nurturing high-performing global teams, understands that "It's not enough to know the language!"
In her book, No Such Thing as Small Talk, Ms. Lamson, a pioneer in the field of cross-cultural communication and global business development, focuses on Germany, a country with similar business etiquette and work ethics as the United States. American business executives who deal with Germans may not be aware of the subtle but critical differences of both cultures.
The book provides the readers with seven principles that help achieve business success in Germany, whether it relates to process, punctuality, discipline, or email communication. Not only does Lamson clearly lay out the differences, but she also offers a cultural perspective that is rich with personal narrative.
