Our resident expert in business communication with regard to American commerce, Dr. Millie Myers at Carnegie Mellon University, talks with “The International Capitalist” David Iwinski about how to navigate communication barriers in overseas markets. The discussion is a part of our ongoing series with Dr. Myers on effective business communication strategies.
