Although Koreans naturally share many cultural characteristics with the Chinese and the Japanese, they also have a unique character and personality that sets them apart from all other Asians. And although Korean attitudes and behavior may be influenced by the modern world, the Korean mindset is still very much shaped by ancient culture and traditions.In "NTC's Dictionary of Korea's Business and Cultural Code Words", Boye Lafayette De Mente explores the meanings and cultural context of the most important "code words" of the Korean language, terms whose significance goes well beyond their literal definitions. The reader is given insights into the character and personality of the Korean people, providing bridges for communicating and interacting with them.

Throughout this book De Mente offers you invaluable advice for doing business with the Japanese. He compares the Japanese and Western approaches to business, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of each. This is the one book on Japanese business structure and practices that offers explanations for what may seem like confusing and contradictory behavior to you. As part of a rationale for Japan's economic achievements, De Mente has formulated "Japan's Five Commandments for Success," which he presents here for the first time. No other book is as informative about the cultural factors that shape business practices in Japan. The insights that De Mente has gathered as the results of his long experience in Japan are presented on every page. No one who goes East with the intention of doing business with the Japanese should do so without first consulting Japanese Etiquette &amp; Ethics in Business."I am delighted to see this revised and expanded edition of a book that has become something of a classic over the decades. Boye De Mente's long experience in Japan . . . has given him a keen insight into the cultural factors that shaped and still control management practices in Japan."--Yasutaka Sai, Vice President, International Japan Management Association"This book is 'must' reading for anyone with even a marginal interest in Japan and Japanese business."--William K. Nickoson, President, Asia Dynamics (Japan) Ltd."Until foreign businesspeople fully understand and learn how to cope with the cultural factors underlying Japanese society, particularly such elements as discrimination and egotism, they will not be able to understand or work effectively with the Japanese. Boye De Mente's Japanese Etiquette &amp; Ethics in Business provides the basis for this understanding, along with practical advice on bridging cultural differences."--John Artise, Vice President, Drake Beam Morin, Inc.

Which side of your brain is engaged when you think and speak determines whether or not your responses are emotional or logical, narrow-minded or holistic, etc. Some people are right-brain oriented; others are left-brain oriented, so it is vital that you know which side of a person's brain you are addressing. In this book, internationally known author Boye Lafayette De Mente explains what causes dominance in one side or the other of our brains and the advantages of being able to use both sides...with guidelines for dealing with right-brain and left-brain oriented people. He also explains why women "are caught in the middle" when it comes to using their brains.
