In today's high-stakes, highly charged international business world, you simply can't afford a misunderstood gesture, an ill-placed word, or a misinformed judgment. The Global Etiquette Guide to Mexico and Latin America shows both business and leisure travelers how to understand, appreciate, and manage-- as well as maximize the benefits of-- the myriad cultural differences that can exist between you and your Latin American business hosts. This fact-filled cultural guidebook provides detailed advice on:
? Dining ? Drinking ? Speaking ? Eye contact ? Hailing a taxi ? Dress ? Negotiating ? Gift giving ? Conducting a meeting ? Tipping ? Holidays ? Dealing with authorities
Just as customs vary greatly between Latin America and the United States, so do they vary among the diverse nations of Latin America. What is proper and expected in Argentina, for example, may be a deal-breaker in Venezuela. The Global Etiquette Guide to Mexico and Latin America will familiarize you with the customs, habits, tastes, and mores of every key Latin American nation-- over thirty in all-- and help you guarantee the mutual respect and acceptance that are vital for keeping every international business relationship agreeable, effective, and successful.
