The list author says: "To be taken seriously in management of any multinational company that participates in offshoring or outsourcing, (which is nearly all of them these days!) you have to have international business experience. Taking a trip to India is an ideal way to improve your career and your life - you can grow and learn so much as a person while you earn the credentials that set your resume apart from the stack.
You will also get to know some very high-powered executives in India who have a different style of feminism - they get things done, they love and appreciate men, and they are also supportive and nurturing to other businesswomen.
You'll also need the American Businesswoman's Politically Incorrect Guide to Bangalore www.bangaloreforbusinesswomen.com and you can find out more about ethics, etiquette and effectiveness in our multicultural world at www.ravenwerks.com"
"Tom Friedman first identified the "Bangalore phenomenon" - everything from reading x-rays to legal transcription to computer software development to customer service is happening in Bangalore."
"This guide is small enough to pack, but contains quite a bit of short information. You'll want more background on the specific region you're visiting, but this is a good quick reference if you'll be traveling around India a lot."
"This is the only international business etiquette book for women I can find (other than my own) and it has some excellent information. A bit daunting to try to cover the whole globe in one volume, so the depth suffers a bit. But a good start."
"You'll want one of these. There is very little violent crime in India, but in some urban markets picking pockets and purses has evolved into a high art form."
"Yes, it's a cookbook, but you'll want it because 1) It has some great culture notes that you won't find in any travel guide or business book on India, and 2) Cuisine is a great window into a culture, and by learning a couple of recipes you'll have things to talk about with people in India!
