Don’t They Know it’s Friday? (3rd Fully Revised Edition)

Don’t They Know It’s Friday?

By: Jeremy Williams

An invaluable handbook for the business traveller. Jeremy Williams, who teaches business-etiquette courses, has lived and worked throughout the Gulf region. His analysis is straightforward and entertaining.

This business handbook addresses in useful detail the cross-cultural aspects of life affecting Westerners and Gulf nationals of all the GCC countries. Moreover, it deals with the realities of business practice, and the mental stresses and strains of operating in the Gulf as a Western visitor or expatriate. It also focuses on the need for a common bond of understanding between staff in the Gulf and their managers at home, and for an awareness of the resulting problems that may arise. It delivers, in a useful and straightforward manner, the effects of Islam upon the daily life of the expatriate, and is a valuable reference even for those who might think they already know how to behave in the Arab World.
