What do I need to know about people from other cultures that will help us work successfully together?

Global markets demand a global corporate culture that does not impose uniformity but capitalises on diversity

Creating a global business culture takes place on many levels and in several time frames

At senior executive level may be the creation of a strategy for developing a business culture appropriate to global goals with measurable objectives and benchmarks

In the short term there may be an immediate problem with dysfunctional multi-cultural teams.

In between these two extremes are skills such as negotiating across cultures and managing project teams

Your culture is changing all the time and will do so ever faster with globalisation and technological development.

The question is not whether you want a global culture but whether you want to manage it.
