The world is small in a sense, and with more and more businesses operating on a global scale, it is likely cross-cultural communications happen in your daily life. Cross-cultural communication in negotiations is not only about discussing and reaching an agreement but also about being aware that what is appropriate in one culture, may not work in another.
By investing in cultural competency, you can accomplish a lot more with your foreign counterparts. Furthermore, you can easily win yourself an advantage over your competitors and execute a strategic plan taking into consideration each party’s interests, level of power, and fairness. Being culturally competent in negotiations means each individual is engaged in the process, understands the role of culture, personality, motivation, trust, and reputation, and is capable of predicting behavior.
Join this one-hour workshop to develop cultural awareness and learn some practical tips for how to manage cross-cultural communications/ negotiations more effectively.
Learning Objectives:
- Culture Dimension
- Communication styles and barriers
- Effect of culture in conflict resolution
- Best practices
