"A useful resource not only for the new professonal but for
managers." - Booklist
"Claiming that business behavior communicates something about one's
self and organization, the authors detail how to create positive
impressions in more than a dozen common work-related situations.
Chaney and Martin are business/management academics, experts in
cross-cultural business communication, and authors of Intercultural
Business Communication (2007) and Global Business Etiquette (CH,
Oct'06, 44-1030). This new, complementary book focuses on social
behaviors within the US workplace, but includes two chapters and
cautionary statements about differences in perceived propriety when
interacting with people from other parts of the world. Everything
about this book conveys a no-nonsense approach (no images, little
white space, and lots of text per page). The writing is factual,
with footnotes pointing to a rich assortment of supporting sources.
Frequent sidebars/boxes relate stories to punctuate essential
concepts. Following an introduction, 14 chapters focus on the
business etiquette of particular situations, including job
interviews, business dress, office politics, electronic and written
communication, dining and entertainment, special events, meetings
and presentations, sports , and travel. Readers can therefore refer
to relevant sections as needed. The comprehensive, up-to-date
content even includes current airport security guidelines and
pager, beeper, and BlackBerry etiquette. Footnotes (references) by
chapter. Highly recommended. All collections." - Choice
