Description
Getting it right in the Malaysian context
The climb up the corporate ladder is full of hazards. Just as manners maketh a man, a faux pas can tarnish your corporate image. In this multi-racial Malaysian society where each ethnic group has its own peculiar sensitivities, it is especially difficult to steer a clear course. What is right to some may sound downright unprofessional to others. For instance, is it correct to address a woman executive as kakak? If it is all right, can one call an older male colleague abang? What does it take to be professionally correct? Social skills count in the business world. How does one deal with requests for business favours? And has it occurred to you that nowadays, you must mind your manners not only on the telephone but also on the Internet?
This timely publication aims to help you Get It Right in the Malaysian corporate jungle. As our professional men and women grow in number, the need for an accepted code of behaviour becomes more urgent. This book fills the need. It talks about what's right and what's wrong in the Malaysian context, with authority and a touch of humour.
