Going Global is going in the back of the workplace politics, turf wars and day by day workings of a transnational American corporation in Japan within the overdue Nineties as staff try and determine a comfy position in the company.
Fuller appears at how relationships between Asians and among Asians and american citizens are established as people are promoted to positions of strength and authority.
