WORKING
EFFECTIVELY IN AN
INTERCULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
|
Intercultural competence is a necessary, fascinating, and yet,
sensitive subject for corporate training.
Necessary, because ot the international nature of corporate
personnel, teams, suppliers, partners and customers.
Fascinationg, because of the complexity of history, culture
and human nature. And finally sensitive, because we are speaking
about values which are often not consciously recognized, but
which define who we are. Careful consideration must also be
focused on the moral imperatives fo faster respect for others
and encourage participants to learn to navigate between individuals
and stereotypes.
The seminar content is based on the seminal works in the intercultural
field such as HALL, HOFSTEDE, TROMPENAARS, extensive reading
and research in country-specific history and literature, as
well over hundreds of interviews with participants worldwide.
