Posted DCO Thailand Thais Mean Business The Expat's Guide to Doing Business in Thailand Robert Cooper THE EXPAT. A mutant of the human species that can be uprooted from a familiar environment, flown halfway around the world, dropped into another time, climate and culture, and then walk into a strange office to manage the unknown. The world is the expat's stage, market-place and battlefield. All people act, trade and fight. But, as the expat knows, not all people act, trade and fight in the same way. No doubt the dogmatic universals of modern management theory learnt at business schools, force-fed in expensive training sessions, or cribbed from a book written by a prophet who has never seen the sun rise from the Temple of Dawn, will need to be tempered, adapted or placed on hold if the expat is to blossom and prosper in Thailand. In this New & Revised edition, Robert Cooper, anthropologist-turned-manager (there's more money in it) and author of the best-selling Culture Shock! Thailand continues his quest in helping the expat in Thailand solve problems and increase profits. With deadly serious humour and brand new sections (from Copyright to 'Fresh' Money) for today's brand new expat, he encourages the expat towards a middle path of hands-off management which he describes in its ideal form as "a hammock stretched between two palm trees".
