How to Do Business in Spain - a Guide


Book Description

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: Distinction, Bond University Australia, 14 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Abstract When a foreigner is doing business in Spain, there are many cultural aspects to be aware of. Spain is a collectivist country, with emphasis on family and friends. Business structures are hierarchal and friendship is more important than experience when selecting new staff. The leadership style is autocratic, and the leader is treated with respect. The Spanish behaviour is informal, and being a moderately high context culture, non-verbal language is very loud. This paper is discussing the cultural dimensions and social and ethical issues in Spain. It continues to develop how to communicate effectively, followed by negotiating. The last parts talk about how to work in teams, and how to select expatriates for an assignment in Spain.

Foreign Ownership Restrictions and Liberalization Reforms


Book Description

Published in 1997, this volume examines why foreign investment restrictions put in place during the 1950s and 1960s have been largely removed in recent years. Illustrations from ten countries are used to demonstrate the liberalizing movement, and the author analyzes the differences among sectors with regard to rationales and changes in rationales suggesting why many societies have chosen to retain certain restrictions even with the general liberalization. On this basis recommendations are presented in the book with regard to alternative mechanisms for achieving the original national objectives.
