I work in a communications company in the U.S. I've just finished reading Amerika fur Geschaftsleute, das einmaleins der ungeschriebenen Regeln. It certainly lives up to its name, and it's a must-read for ANYONE trying to 'make it' in business in the U.S. today. Mr. Otte has done extensive primary and secondary research, and the result is a guide that will be useful not only to Germans, but to many Americans as well. He explores every aspect of the business transaction, paying careful attention to the intricate details that we Americans never talk about. His writing style is direct and concise, yet provides enough detail to give you the whole picture. I hope to see an English translation soon, many of my American colleagues could benefit from this book.
