International Management Helen Deresky 5th Edition

How does a person coordinate the proper paperwork, travel time, cultural differences, language barriers, and political land mines that are inherent in doing business overseas? In "The American Entrepreneur in Asia: A Personal Journey of Global Proportions," author Irl Davis shares the intricate details of international business that he learned on his own personal journey. Some may be on a simple quest for information-finding resources, looking up Web sites, or subscribing to a magazine that caters to global entrepreneurs. Others may embark on an actual physical journey-to China, Taiwan, or one of the other countries detailed by Davis. Some may even be on a hypothetical journey, seeking answers to the 'what if" questions and 'maybe this" possibilities that need to be resolved before conducting business internationally. If you can answer yes to one or all of the following questions, then "The American Entrepreneur in Asia" has the information you need for successful international expansion: Are you planning to expand internationally? Do you feel that to remain competitive in today's marketplace you must transfer your manufacturing operations to a foreign country? Are you considering expanding your product lines to some of the fastest growing economies in the world?

Emotional Intelligence

Whether in a familial setting or the workplace, emotional intelligence is the key to success. As an energizing power, it helps us not only maintain healthy social relations but also achieve self-satisfaction and self-actualization. In her book Emotional Intelligence: the Road to Success, Dr. Samira A. Mansour guides the reader through the benefits and effective use of emotional intelligence in a variety of situations, including cross-culture communication, family interaction, socialization of children, sociocultural negotiation, and organizational management. The book also includes a self-scoring assessment test covering three aspects of emotional intelligence. Success and productivity cannot be determined by IQ alone. By using EQ, or emotional intelligence, readers of all backgrounds can better understand and assess the behaviors, attitudes, motivations, lifestyles, management styles, interpersonal skills, and potentialities of those around them. Emotional Intelligence: the Road to Success will show them how.
