"Having read about Working with Americans (which until then I hadn't realised was a subject!) I wanted to get it to help me understand the owrking relationdhip I had witn an American colleague. I was then fortunate enough to find that Allyson Stewart-Allen was our course leader for a course on Strategic Business Planning. She is as dynamic, enthusiastic and inspiring as this brilliant book. It is fun, enjoyable, informative and educational. I only hope they write many, many more books.!

This book has helped many of us at American Express in Europe and the US -- it's well-written, informative and has lots of very practical advice for how to understand the American psyche in the business context.
Don't leave home without it!

Should be mandatory in flight reading for any traveller doing business in the U.S. for the first time

Stewart-Allen and Denslow's 'Working with Americans' is an invaluable source for those seeking insight into corporate America and for those wishing to understand the 'American way'in international business relations...

Not only an easy and enjoyable read, but also a highly informative book which gives valuable advice on how to maximise business relationships between Europeans and Americans. A must-read for all those intending on doing business that links the US with Europe.

Managers from both sides of the ocean will benefit from immersing themselves in this corporate survival handbook. Sensible advice for doing business with Americans. An easy to follow, intelligent format looking at historical and cultural contexts and covering all aspects of this tricky and often glossed over endeavour.

A must-read regardless of which side of "the pond" you are on. The book is an insightful examination of the human side of business transactions--the personal relationship of the parties that make it happen and how best to develop and nurture those relationships across cultural differences. If you have clients or prospects abroad, this handy quick-read reference guide should always be in your brief case.

This is a very practical guide for Americans whose careers involve international clients, colleagues, suppliers or projects: a must-read for any American even thinking about any aspect of international business. Usefully, however, the book also contains insights for Europeans in their business dealings with Americans. This is a timeless reference guide that should be in every international business person's library.

I read this book just prior to my first business trip to the USA. Not only is the book enjoyable to read but I found it fascinating to recognise so many of the insights that the book contains whilst I was in the US. Highly recommended.

These authors really know what they are talking about. Their practical application is so effective.
Thanks again for such beneficial insight.
