Country specific Training

These programmes are designed to provide support to staff and managers working across cultural boundaries but not resident in a different culture from their own. These may include staff and managers whose role requires managing team members in different cultures as well those making regular short or extended visits to a range of different cultures. Specific objectives for individual programmes are defined in more detail through a needs analysis. However, based on our experience, the objectives are likely to include the following three areas:

1. Cultural Values: Differences between the cultures are compared and strategies are developed to bridge the gap between the cultural norms and values each country holds. Development of realistic cultural expectations are an integral part of the programme.
2. Country Information: An understanding of the local customs, history, and lifestyle is provided. This includes the impact of history, politics, and geography on present-day culture within the context of current events.
3. Business Culture: The local business culture is examined and strategies for adapting to the differences in working and managerial styles are provided. Topics such as communication, negotiation, hierarchy, and protocol are covered.

A Country-specific programme typically includes the following business practices and behaviour content:

• Boss/subordinate relationships
• Meetings and agendas
• Reports and presentations
• Managing and motivating
• Marketing and sales
• Negotiating
• Business action planning
• Creating strategies for managing, marketing, and negotiating in the host culture
