We have offices in many countries, some of which are considered to be emerging markets. Some are just horrid markets rife with soft laws, unknown customs, and a favor system of patronage that put South Philly to shame. The book covered almost all of the problems one is likely to encounter, and had excellent recommendations for solving those problems. This book is an excellent primer for developing a framework for a First Worlder, going to a Third World market and trying to survive. The book is not an easy, light, read, but it is well illustrated and well documented, and most useable.
