In today’s globalized world different cultures are continuously interacting with each other using, in most cases, virtual tools. The new medium forces cultures to learn the art of communicating in a tacit form.
However a lack of intercultural awareness can create a kind of short-circuit in communication between global business partners, disrupting business. Cross cultural training can play a positive role for your organization. It helps to achieve a state of continuous awareness making the cross-cultural journey more enjoyable starting from a stern ethnocentricity to more harmonious ethno relativity in the globalised world of today.
