Synopsis

This classic business etiquette book was originally self-published and sold 19,000 copies with a cover price of $22.95. Now it’s been revised and expanded to include more details about doing business in Asian countries; the cover price has been reduced to $16.00. Recommended by blue-chip business leaders, Asian Business Customs & Manners has the potential to be one of the leading books in the category.

This is a guide that covers all the dos and don’ts of business etiquette in Asia.  Organized country by country, this comprehensive guide contains information on every situation you’ll encounter, including business practices and attitudes, meetings, negotiations, meals, punctuality, language, gestures, tipping, manners, gifts, and everything in between.  It contains all the information you need to present yourself well and get the job done ... whatever it might be.  This book provides guidance about how to successfully negotiate your way through Asian business situations generally, as well as specific information about doing business in:  Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, and New Zealand.

This book won the Independent Book Publisher’s Association Benjamin Franklin Award for Business in 2008.
