Summary: Uncovering semi-conscious attitudes
Review: An edifying and amusing examination of the different business methods and attitudes to personal relations in the two countries. An eye-opener to the inbuilt assumptions which cause so many misunderstandings in professional and social life. A "must" for businesspeople who want to be global players.

Summary: An unbelievable insight into American-German relations
Review: Engaging into American-German business ventures without first reading this book is like trying to pass a math exam without knowing the difference between subtraction and addition! All joking aside, reading this book is far more entertaining and rewarding than a typical mathematical treatise. If you don't succeed working with Germans or Americans after reading this book, then I suggest you stay within your national borders!

Summary: Uncovering semi-conscious attitudes
Review: I had to laugh when the author told us that one of the worse insults an American can give is someone is 'a total bore'. Otherwise, this book points out some interesting comparisons and contrasts between German and American cultures.

Summary: One of the best books about the topic !
Review: I'm German, but I have lived for some years in Maryland. While I don't agree with every detail, I think most of the stated analyisis is true. After reading plenty of books about German and American culture, I recommend this book as one (perhaps the) best about this issue in the market. Even the book provided evidence about in the book mentioned cultural differences because it is much more sophicated and detailed than American books usually are.
Rating:
Summary: Great primer for newcomers, helpful to practitioners
Review: The book is a great resource for any newcomer to the subject(s) at hand. For those of us with actual hands-on experience in dealing with both, German and U.S. culture, the book is very helpful as it solidifies and/or corrects one's own perceptions and impressions.

Summary: A Key to German American Business
Review: This book provides the key to addressing potential culture clashes between German and American comapnies in understanding their cultural contexts. A must-read for anyone doing business in both countries.
Rating:
Summary: A must for all American and German managers!
Review: This is an excellent book about the subtle differences between Americans and Germans. It is eminently readable and very informative. I recommend it to anybody who active in these two business cultures.
