Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management Mumbo-Jumbo, 2006, pp 151-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We have been called perfidious Albion: treacherous. But whence this treachery? Surely it is simply a matter of misunderstanding. It is not as if we say one thing and do another. Foreigners simply don’t understand what we are saying. They are so literal.
