Intercultural Competence and Etiquette

The immense growth of global competition and co-operation has made it extremely important and essential for people wanting to do business in other countries to understand the dynamics of cross-cultural communication.

China Induction Program

We have all heard of horror stories and instances of serious feux pas when dealing with people from other cultures.  Business etiquette in other cultures can be daunting, for example do you understand:

• The customs and protocol for doing business in China?
• How to develop an appropriate strategy and use effective negotiation tactics?
• The value of connections and guanxi (relationships)?
• Mianxi (the concept of ‘face’)?
• Correct etiquette for business entertaining?
• Correct forms of address?
• Welcome and unwelcome topics of conversation?

We can provide you with the essential knowledge, skills and practical know-how to prepare you for doing business in China.

International Business Across Cultures (IBAC)

IBAC is a cross-cultural program designed for international business professionals who need special skills and an international mindset to achieve successful global outcomes.

The program explores how business counterparts from other cultures can have differing approaches and attitudes to basic business variables, including time, planning, communication style, team leadership, trust and relationship building.
