Translating Business: Hands-on Internationalization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798509610554)

Translating Business is an informative and fun read. It's accessible for businesspeople at various levels of experience, and it's a great reference for those looking to expand their business into new territories, which can be an incredibly daunting task. It takes complex ideas at both the macro and micro levels and explains them to readers in a way that is not only helpful but also kind and charming. The humor throughout, as well as the stories told from direct experience, will certainly draw in readers who want to know more about the overwhelming process of expanding their businesses overseas.

The book has a good, clear structure. The three primary sections are ordered in a way that allows the reader to move from the big picture ideas down to the more nitty-gritty details.

The tone throughout the book is very friendly and approachable. There are some complex ideas at play, but they're simplified for the audience so that new and intermediate business owners and managers can create a plan for expanding into new territories. The asides, often made in parentheses, are very humorous and add a light, conversational tone to the book.
