Latin American Business Cultures

This concise, practical book was written to better understand the business cultures in eleven Latin American countries, while providing readers with a historical perspective to cultural differences. To deal with what is an inherently vague and as yet ill-defined subject—the cross-cultural relations of Latin America—this book uses a series of filters to detect the illusive cultural factors in Latin American life. Europe as a model; diversity and pluralism; the role of indigenous peoples; potential conflict between the regional blocs and NAFTA; democracy in Latin America; regional stability. For expatriate managers or HR directors of US multinational firms.
