    “Localization Strategies for Global E-Business is a true reflection of Dr. Singh’s experience and expertise in this space. It is an excellent guide for anyone looking to learn and improve their web localization strategies in order to reach global markets. The non-technical approach allows a wide variety of professionals, students, and academics to understand the complexities in this area. The checklists and real-world examples are of tremendous value and allow the reader to instantly gain more insights. Dr. Singh took on a daunting task to bring structure into the maze of information that is out there. Based on over ten years of research, training, and consulting experience, we now have an indispensible guide for how to navigate through the various challenges and opportunities in the global e-commerce world. I highly recommend this book.” - Carsten A. Kneip, Program Manager, Microsoft Corporation
