Summary: Outstanding Resource for Military Spouses on OCONUS Tours
Review: Great information for preparing for an overseas tour. It includes a wealth of information, country-specific tips, wonderful checklists to help you prepare for the overseas tour, and an extensive reference list to continue your pre-travel research. It will alert you to cultural nuances at your destination so that you can be prepared to present yourself effectively and avoid possible embarrassment. If you plan to work (or even become involved in the native community abroad), I highly recommend this book-- it will ensure you are better prepared and confident, so you'll enjoy your overseas adventure.

Summary: great exploration of gender equity issues
Review: my middle school students have found this book useful because
it not only discusses gender issues in the world of business,
but also offers strategies how U.S. women can be successful in
cultures with even less equitable relations between the genders than our own country.

Summary: "Must read" for businesswomen planning to travel overseas.
Review: Our consulting staff recommends this book to every women planning to be, or already involved in international trade. Female business executives must realize that they will, at least for the next few years, be forced to operate in a "man's world". To help with this enigma, this excellent publication reviews the social and business protocol for most of the countries to which women might be traveling on business. There are also important tips on how to travel safely and what types of wardrobes are most acceptable and attractive in foreign countries. This is an outstanding publication that also happens to be enjoyable reading. John R. Jagoe, Director, Export Institute
