"As the business opportunities in Asia grow, so does the competition. In Asia, perhaps more than any other region in the world, being competitive means understanding the local cultures. Mary Bosrock provides a helpful guide to understanding Asia." -- Walter F. Mondale, Former Vice President of the United States and Ambassador to Japan
