The book is also insightful when discussing the cultural patterns and practices of the workplace and takes up management style, personnel issues, networking and "pull" negotiating style, persistence, key Korean business relationships and more.

L. Robert Kohls has thirty years' experience as an intercultural trainer and trainer of other trainers; he has worked, lived and travelled in more than eighty countries, with extensive stays in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. He is also a founding member of SIETAR International.

"Robert Kohls' book is impressive in its depth of understanding of the ways in which cultural differences affect behavior, the ways in which we really are not all alike underneath Horace H. Underwood, Executive Director, Korean-American Educational Commission, Seoul, Korea
