The current global economic climate requires a higher level of intercultural communication, cross-cultural understanding and people management than ever before. Each marketplace has its own parameters for how business people in it like to be communicated with. It is a vital pre requisite for business people to now ‘do business’ with a greater knowledge, understanding and respect for CULTURAL DIVERSITY.
Effective Cross-cultural Marketing
Globalisation has made industries more competitive so it is vital for organisations to have the right international skill set. The failure rate of international joint ventures and mergers is staggering. And, there are enormous changes happening in the workplace where people of all different nationalities are thrown together. With the challenges of new markets, globally distributed remote teams and different communication styles across the globe, it is vital that business people take cultural diversity into account.
