Kursinhalt
Developing strategies for successful communication and profitable business relationships:
Being successful in business means learning how our German partners tick. Foreign globalized managers are aware of cultural differences, but are often not aware of how cultural upbringing impacts communication, expectations, and working styles. As a foreign manager doing business with Germans or working in Germany, you may have come across some unexpected difficulties. This management training will provide you with the background to understand where problems arise from within a multi-cultural context. It will help you to discover new strategies and solutions to deal with these differences.
