Intercultural Training USA
The USA is an important market for many companies. On the surface, America seems similar to Germany from a business culture perspective. In reality, however, there are several significant differences and misunderstanding traps that can endanger successful business ventures.
The Intercultural
Training USA seminar illuminates the differences
between how Americans and Germans do business differently and provides
you with ready-to-use tools to successfully negotiate and conduct
business with Americans. Additionally, it will prepare you to get off
on the right foot if you are moving to the United States for a
long-term work assignment. At the same time, the training challenges
you to examine your own culture and how it impacts your point of view
and expectations.
Target Group: Professionals who are in contact with the USA
or who are being sent to the USA on work assignment.
