Workshop Description

Many a business deal falls apart due to fundamental misunderstandings. The toughest aspect of understanding a people are their cultural values. Operating at very subtle level, individuals within a culture often do not clearly understand what those values are.

It’s like a fish trying to describe the nature of water or describing the components of air. This is especially true for deals between Asian and American companies since their business and social customs are so different.

See what the major studies of cross-cultural business values have to say about the major differences between the West and the East.
