Help with cross-cultural issues for U.S. companies doing business in Mexico.

Bridging the Gap Between U. S. and Mexican Managers

Much has been written on the economic dimensions of U.S.-Mexican business relations, but little on the more subtle and sensitive cultural issues involved. In this revised edition, Eva Kras has provided us with an updated book that confronts head-on the problems that arise out of the cultural differences between U.S. and Mexican managers. And it could not be more timely. Since the publication of this book in 1989, the Maquiladoras have increased in number, the NAFTA agreement has been ratified and is already having an impact on Mexican society, and business practices have changed and evolved in response. In this new edition, Ms. Kras has expanded her analysis and offers the reader a sharper image of her subject in the light of these developments and their meaning for interaction between U.S. and Mexican managers. Mexicoâ??s ambitious Maquiladora programâ??designed to foster the establishment of foreign, especially U.S., manufacturing plants in Mexico along the U.S. borderâ??has been strikingly successful. All along the border, jointly managed industries have sprung up. The result has been a significant increase in the amount of contact between managers from the two cultures and a dramatic rise in the stakes involved in their developing effective working relationships. This practical handbook is based on extensive interviews with Mexican and U.S. managers. Ms. Kras compares the critical areas of a managerial setting in which the values and behaviors of the two cultures differ and offers specific recommendations as to how the disparities between them can be handled. In the process, she deals realistically with the problems and misunderstandings that arise between Mexican and U.S. managers and demonstrates clearly how simple but hard-to-achieve changes in attitude and style can resolve them.

How to Get It, Keep It, and Sell More Than Ever

The two questions most often asked by salespeople are: 'how can I close more sales?' and 'what can I do to reduce objections?' The answer to both questions is the same: you learn to sell from a buyer's point of view. Global markets, increased technology, information overload, corporate mergers and complex products and services have combined to make the buying/selling process more complicated then ever. Salespeople must understand and balance these factors to survive amidst a broad spectrum of competition. THE SALES ADVANTAGE will enable any salesperson to develop long-term customer relationships and help make those customers more successful, a key competitive advantage. The book includes specific advice for each of the eleven-stage selling process, set out in clear easy-to-understand prose with numerous case studies. THE SALES ADVANTAGE is a proven, logical, step-by-step guide that will create mutually beneficial results for salespeople and customers alike.

Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

A Treasury of Great Moral Stories

Responsibility. Courage. Compassion. Honesty. Friendship. Persistence. Faith. Everyone recognizes these traits as essentials of good character. In order for our children to develop such traits, we have to offer them examples of good and bad, right and wrong. And the best places to find them are in great works of literature and exemplary stories from history. William J. Bennett has collected hundreds of stories in The Book of Virtues, an instructive and inspiring anthology that will help children understand and develop character -- and help adults teach them. From the Bible to American history, from Greek mythology to English poetry, from fairy tales to modern fiction, these stories are a rich mine of moral literacy, a reliable moral reference point that will help anchor our children and ourselves in our culture, our history, and our traditions -- the sources of the ideals by which we wish to live our lives. Complete with instructive introductions and notes, The Book of Virtues is a book the whole family can read and enjoy -- and learn from -- together.
