Must read if you are working cross culturally. Duane Elmer seems to have lots of good insights on these topics. Take the time to improve your thinking!
Interesting book really aimed at American audience however interesting categories and the descriptions especially of indirect conflict avoidance resolution was particularly enlightening.
