GONZALEZ TEJERA, FEDERICO J.
Living and working abroad is an opportunity that is ever more in our reach. However, should we accept the proposal if we are offered the chance? Do we all have what it takes to succeed? What determines whether or not we will assimilate well into the new society? How can we compare cultures? What are the key factors for success? What will your day-to-day business life be like abroad? What can you expect in terms of family life? What are the pros and cons, the risks and the opportunities? In this book, the author asks and answers these and many other questions in a dynamic and entertaining narrative, full of examples drawn from his own experience and that of his colleagues.
Federico J. González Tejera has worked in the business world since 1988. In 1995, he decided to accept a posting and move to Brussels with his family, initially intended to be for only a short period. Now, more than twenty years later, he has lived and worked in Stockholm, Lisbon, and Paris, before returning to Madrid in September 2013. He now divides his time living in Brussels and Madrid. Having shared this experience with his family allows him to offer a profound reflection on professional and personal aspects of expatriate life. He has written two other books, "How to Succeed in Business the Swedish Way" and "How to Live and Work with the Portuguese", both published by Biblioteca Nueva.
