I'm reading Cultural Intelligence: People skills for global business. It's by Thomas, D and Inkson, K. It's required reading for my Cross-Cultural Management class here at EGADE. This is one of my favorite classes, as it goes much deeper than telling you not to show the bottom of your foot in Latin America or describing the proper way to receive a business card in Japan. It helps you build a framework for understanding cross-cultural situations, then adapting your behavior accordingly.

If you don't have a similar class in your program, I highly recommend this book. After all, what business isn't global today?

Just re-read Mystery of Capital by Hernando de Soto.

I was reading The Age of Turbulence by Greenspan when I started studying for the GMAT... this was back at the end of January. I stopped midway through the book and have read three chapters since then... :lol:

SO, once I am done with the GMAT, I will get back to reading his book again. I will also read Bodine's book.

Currently reading "Soros" by Michael Kaufman.

I think it is a book really worth looking at. It shows you that some of the most successful businessmen and businesswomen are truly multidimensional people.

Business Dynamics by Jon Sterman

If you are serious about truly understanding the evolution, dynamics, cycles, flows, declines, etc. of business, then you must read this work. I have been going back to this work for the last three years, almost. It is a remarkable text.

I liked that book, but I found it too geographically deterministic. Collapse was also interesting, but was environmentally deterministic. However, there is something to learn from both.

Enjoy!

Niiice! Have you read anything by Augusten Burroughs? I'm going to move on to him once I'm through all of Sedaris' books.
