The world is more connected than ever before. When pondering the future of your business, you may be looking at international expansion-and through modern technology, any metropolis in the world is only a Skype call or e mail away. This new sense of closeness brings new challenges as global businesses struggle to communicate effectively with each other. Each organization is influenced by the region it calls home-a business in Japan does things quite differently from one based in France. Workplace culture helps create a united front, but it can lead to unwanted tension and conflict. This new guide to international business culture can help you avoid misunderstandings during negotiations and other important talks. Author and businessman Ashraf Haggag discusses a number of important issues, including the definition of culture as a driving force in business, the unique cultures of a variety of countries and global regions, the ways culture directs business negotiations, the influence of culture on business strategy, the effect of culture on business communications, and the role culture plays in consumer buying behavior. Understanding the ideological foundation of an organization will help you better prepare for negotiations and accommodate its unique corporate environment with enhanced insight.

If you are running a successful business and are unsure of the next step, consider what great companies around the world have done: M&A. The only way a business can survive in today's economy is through mergers and acquisitions, and Ashraf Haggag's No Place to Stand Alone will tell you why. The number of corporations that truly become large enough to influence the market is shrinking, and as such, the trend of mergers and acquisitions will only increase in the years to come as companies consolidate in order to prosper. This is why it is necessary to understand the importance of M&A in running a business and also how to make a successful M&A transaction, how to avoid the pitfalls of past and unsuccessful fusions, and what motivations lie behind these transactions. No Place to Stand Alone has a place on your shelf whether you are looking for a deep reference to today's corporate climate or simply a light read that highlights effective and ineffective exchanges of the past. And if you are a business owner, you can be sure to succeed in your next M&A endeavor with this book as your guide.
