Adventures in Global Consulting is a humorous and insightful look at some of the challenges faced by an international consultant.
Stories about constructing a controlled factory in China, explaining quality control to the French, outarguing the Germans, training kibbutzniks in Israel, avoiding losing face in Japan, activating the Swedes, and understanding the FDA in the United States are just a few of the amusing and instructive anecdotes presented in Adventures in Global Consulting.
Selected by Dr. Waldman from his 25 years of experience, the anecdotes and related learnings and lessons provide, country by country, an entertaining and useful guide in cultural differences in quality of work and quality of life among the many countries in which he has consulted.
This companion to Discovered Global Wisdom supplies unique insights into how people and management in each country attempt to balance the expectations of their society and the needs of the global markets, and will be of value to anyone interested in how others around the world live and compete.
