Germany - Culture Smart! by Barry Tomalin explores Germany, the powerhouse of Europe and a pillar of the Eurozone, which feels reassuringly familiar. However, despite superficial appearances, this is a country that operates very differently from the USA and Britain.

German history spans more than a thousand years, and the relatively new German nation-state encompasses an astonishing variety of cultural and regional differences. German society is also in a state of flux, as people respond to immigration and a challenging economic climate. Traditional attitudes, such as formality and rigid protocol, are softening as German business globalises.

Culture Smart! Germany aims to show you how to be a good and sensitive guest. It guides you on what treatment to expect, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to build rapport and credibility with this culturally rich and inventive people in the heart of Europe.
