Had to purchase this book for class. Book consists of case studies for the "global" world of communication. Book attempted to illustrate the differences of various cultures and how they interact with one another in business like relationships. Overall based merely on the class setting the book was not the most conducive manner in which to demonstrate international cultural relationship. Only entertainment was derived from the ironic slight racist undertone of some of the case studies. Overall would not recommend.

Unlike other case studies in the Allyn & Bacon series, this book proved worthless. You could find better cases by searching Google or reading "intercom," the magazine of the Society for Technical Communication.

If the instructor requires it, buy the cheapest copy you can, because you'll be selling it back to someone else. This will ensure the maximum resale value.

I have been waiting for an entire month now, and have still not received the book that I purchased on the 5th of August. This is ridiculous. I wouldn't buy anything from this seller again...
