Overview

From less than 25% in 1990, business across borders now accounts for more than 1/3 of global GDP: more than a billion new middle class consumers will be added to the world marketplace by the end of the decade. Cross-cultural business relations can be challenging and confusing. Cross culture is a concept that recognizes the differences among businesspeople of different nations, backgrounds, and ethnicities, and the importance of bridging them. With globalization, cross culture education has become critically important to business success in opening up and maintaining new markets. The inability to successfully navigate cultural differences is the most frequently cited reason for global team failure.

Join experts Patricia Hernández and Curtis Curry in Communicating Across Cultures: What Leaders and Teams Need to Know to Succeed. The one-hour webinar will provide critical information and strategies for effectively working across national borders. This interactive webinar will provide participants with information and best practice strategies to bridge the cultural divide.
