| Abstract
|
:
|
Despite their outwardly friendly ways and easy-going manner, Americans continue to be a mystery to their business counterparts in other countries. Craig Storti tackles the "can-do" culture of the United States to help professionals better understand the sometimes confusing, sometimes frustrating American personality. Building from an historical context, Storti identifies the six most important American themes, including 'The Land of Opportunity, ' 'Equality for All, ' 'The Self-Made People, ' and 'Time Matters.'
