Excerpt

Punctuality and Pace

One of the greatest challenges you'll face in doing business internationally is understanding and accepting the local norms of punctuality and pace. It's important to understand that differences in such matters aren't necessarily good or bad -- just different.

In a country like Canada, where punctuality is a habit, being late says to your hosts that you are:
-- Lacking respect for them.
-- Sloppy or undisciplined in your personal habits.
-- Potentially unreliable as a partner or supplier.

Reviews

"The North American Free Trade Agreement unites Mexico, Canada, and the United States in the world's largest free trade area. Put Your Best Foot Forward - Mexico/Canada offers extremely helpful guidance on the customs and etiquette of doing business with our neighbors to the South and the North."
-- Carla A. Hills, Chairman and CEO, Hills & Company

"If you plan to be successful in international business, remember one maxim: think globally, but act locally. No matter what your global business aspirations may be, Mary Bosrock provides the pratical guidelines to being sensitive to local customs and culture that are essential to doing business on a worldwide scale."
-- Whitney MacMillan, Chairman of the Board, Cargill
