The author has been a senior executive of giant multinational
corporations, as well as the founder of several small
entrepreneurial companies. He has worked in a number of widely
diverse industries ranging from automobiles to motion pictures and
from paper products to medical devices. The book spans a period of
several decades. Consequently, the political environments and the
standards of living in some of the countries have changed over the
years. However, the basic cultures, business practices, and moral
dilemmas continue to be very much as the author described them. His
observations and recommendations to individuals interested in
traveling, living, or working abroad remain valid and pertinent
today. Some of the material in this book was published in
"Confessions of a Corporate Centurion" by the same
author, from 1st Books Library.
