Course description
Global Effectiveness
Businesses big and small are participating in the global marketplace, and employees need not travel across the ocean to experience different cultures and ways of life. By equipping each employee with the appropriate knowledge, deal-breaking and costly mistakes can be avoided.
Global Effectiveness is based on working within the five cultural dimensions—Task and Relationships, Power Distance, Uncertainty Avoidance, Individualism/Collectivism, and Context Communication. This program will teach participants what types of behaviors to expect from certain cultures and how to prepare themselves for business interactions. As participants learn about each of the five dimensions, they will understand stereotypes differently and will be able to make business interactions run more smoothly.
