PREVIEW
This chapter is more prescriptive than the preceding sixteen, which were mostly descriptive.It is written with the idea that there are some "good practices" in international logistics that students should be aware of. In particular, the chapter focuses on good written and oral communication with the introductions of "International English" and "Special English." It also emphasize the fact that the United States is the sole country in the world to not use the metric system, which is a competitive disadvantage for exporters, and that they should adopt it for all of their export sales. Finally, the chapter briefly re-emphasizes the importance of good intercultural sensitivity, and restates the prescriptive advice given in the chapters on Incoterms, terms of payment, currency of transaction, document preparation, and packaging.
