  In business today we face world competition. We trade internationally, work with overseas partners and employ people of different nationalities. There is a mutual interdependence. But how well do we understand each other's cultures and attitudes to business? This book provides a much-needed overview of capitalism in all its different shapes and guises. Based on a survey of 15,000 senior managers from around the world, it shows how culturally instilled values and customs not only affect the way that countries conduct business but also determine economic success. The book looks at Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden and the Netherlands.
