Practical tips for efficient intercultural collaboration

Intercultural training Gulf States

Intercultural training Gulf States: Thanks to its fabulous wealth of natural resources, the Gulf region is a focal point of the economy and world politics. Within just a few decades, the region has developed from a poorhouse to one of the richest corners of the planet. Shaken by crises and wars in the northern part, splendor and wealth reign in the southern part. With coffers well filled with oil and gas, the Arab states play an enormously important role in world affairs. Characterized by more or less conservative Islam, kings, sheikhs and emirs rule over a raw materials empire that is of central importance to the economic powers in America, Europe and Asia.
The region is full of apparent contradictions: sand and camels meet the finest luxury cars on the best boulevards in the centers Wars and crises on the one hand, splendor and wealth on the other Conservative Islamic character and a turn to the West Billion-dollar deals are negotiated by burnout wearers on one side of the negotiating table and suits on the other.
