Successful business strategies don’t always translate when you conduct business abroad. Your negotiating strategies may strike the wrong chord, or your polished business etiquette, which served you well in your own culture, may be interpreted as rude. When you recognize and respect cultural differences, you show you are serious about doing business in a global society.

Course Objective:

You will communicate and conduct business effectively across cultures.

Target Audience:

This course is for individuals who need to communicate clearly and effectively while conducting business in cultures other than their own.

Delivery Method:

Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities. This course includes a variety of insightful scenarios and case studies involving specific cultures such as Japan, and Indonesia. Specific examples of cultural awareness and sensitivities will be included into course depending on the main nationalities of interest for each client.
