A very useful introduction to working in the highly complex, and quite distinctly unique, arena of doing business in India.

This review is from: Doing Business in India For Dummies (Paperback)

Even though my interest is specifically in doing non-profit work in India, not necessarily business per se, I was still able to benefit a lot from this book.

It is a great introduction to India in general for Americans like me, helpfully summarizing elements of the country's history, politics, and law that one needs to know to operate there, and most helpfully helping you recognize potential difficulties you and your Indian co-workers will face in communicating with one another, and how to overcome them.

I will for sure require my India team members to read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really helpful, November 11, 2010

This review is from: Doing Business in India For Dummies (Paperback)

Of the vast numbers of "manuals" about doing business in India, this one was the most useful for me.

In contrast to others, this book explains not only business related issues (like tax/law-system) in easy words, it also gives a wide range of necessary insights of what you have to expect, when coming to India.

It gave me practical tips for all business and daily-life situations and i can really recommend it to anyone.
