5.0 out of 5 stars The info can help Australians working or living in the USA, June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fair Go for All: Australian and American Interactions (Interact Series) (Paperback)

The book outlines some basic cultural differences that are hard to finger when you first arrive in the USA from Australia. Many of my work and social experiences living in the USA (from Australia) made a whole lot more sense after reading this book - for example the emphasis Americans place on their job titles, and their comparitive lack of long term friendships... Definitely worth a read for Australians planning to live or do business in the USA.

This review is from: Fair Go for All: Australian and American Interactions (Interact Series) (Paperback)

After reading this book and agreeing with it's analysis of Americans, I let some of the Americans with whom I work with read it...and yes, they agree that it fits me (an Australian) down to a tee.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good review of Aussie/Yank similarities & differences., August 14, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Fair Go for All: Australian and American Interactions (Interact Series) (Paperback)

The book does a very good job of outlining the differences and similarities between Australians and Americans. The primary benefit of the book is the presentation of this "cultural awareness" in a manner which is readable, enjoyable and directly applicable to business/social situations
