This book connects a buying psychology driven by American beliefs and values with a company's go-to market strategy, the goal being to sensitize readers to how the cultural values of a particular country or region can impact the business environment. The book also addresses the reasons behind these differences and therefore begins with a detailed cultural comparison of the United States and Europe, and assessments of how these characteristics impact their respective markets and customer behavior differently.

Another aspect that sets this book apart is that it argues for sound decision-making processes as the first priority in any international business strategy. Readers are provided detailed insights into the variables a European company needs to understand before it makes its 'go/no-go' decision, along with the tools needed to evaluate the probability of success and the risks of going to market. Once a company decides to enter the US market, the book then offers a highly customer-centric approach to developing and executing an effective market strategy.

Ralf Drews has a Master's Degree in Engineering and started his career in Dräger's R&D department. Dräger is a 3 Billion US Dollar company serving the Medical and Industrial Safety market. Shortly after he joined the company he became the Project Manager for an R&D Project in the US Airforce. From 2000 to 2008, Mr. Drews was responsible for all global R&D locations, one being in Pittsburgh. In this role he was responsible for the technology and product development for Dräger Safety's global product portfolio. During that time he gained his knowledge about the country specific differences when it comes to product requirements.

Between 2008 and 2012 Mr. Drews has been the CEO and President of Drager Safety in North America. In this role he was responsible for a 120 Mio Dollar business in the US and Canada. Mr. Drews main focus was the development and execution of a strategy which would leverage the strengths of a German technology company and at the same time consider the specific needs and barriers of the US and Canadian Market. During his tenure in North America Mr. Drews and his team were able to grow sales and EBIT (earnings before income and tax) significantly due a new and powerful go-to market strategy. Key to this success was to understand the buying habits of North Americans versus Europeans and the translation of this knowledge into a solid company strategy.

During his entire professional life Mr. Drews has worked closely with Americans and appreciates the importance of understanding the cultural differences between Europeans and Americans. Mr. Drews was also member of the Global Management Team of Drager Safety and had great insights into the Asian and European Markets.
