Training: Bridging the Culture Gap - Living, Working and Leading in China
Objectives and Content
Expatriates can sometimes be confused by the behavior of their Chinese counterparts. Cross-cultural misunderstandings happen once they judge the behavior of other people by their own values. The effects are not only time and money costly, but also a frustration of everyone involved.
Our training program helps participants identify and analyze Chinese working behaviors. It also helps them to gain an advantage within the diversity of their cultural work environment by reflecting on their own experiences. We help expatriate become a better manager by understanding China and understanding their own cultural working approach.
Target Group
Expatriates that work with Chinese colleagues and/or are in charge of personnel in China.

- In which way do Chinese history, culture, and traditions influence today’s way of dealing with each other in business and everyday life?
