The best book I've read on the subject - very insightful
If you're going to manage in a country and culture different from your own, you're going to make some serious mistakes. Hickson and Pugh teach us a lot about cultural values that we assume to be given, but which are a reflection of our own native culture, and which are not necessarily appropriate in a different culture. Things like formality vs informality, hierarchical cultures vs. flat cultures, power-distance, etc. are communicated and explained. I recommend this book to all expatriate managers.
