Practical tips for efficient intercultural collaboration

Intercultural training Asia

With the know-how that you will acquire through intercultural training in Asia, you will increase your chances in international business many times over. In the many different countries of the world’s largest continent, even experienced business people have to know how to deal with numerous intercultural misunderstandings. This applies in particular to people who want to establish new business relationships. It is often underestimated how much patience is required to actually achieve the goals that have been set.

Higher success rates for business and projects

Asia offers a diversity of cultures like no other continent. Tiger hunting in the dense jungle, monks in orange robes, sweet and sour delicacies in the shadow of the world’s longest wall and cherry blossom on Fujiyama – all symbols of the cultures of an incredible continent. In business, “Asia” is often used to refer to those nations located in the south and east of the continent. But even this “limitation” of the Asian continent comprises more than 1/3 of the world’s population and four world religions. Through targeted intercultural training in Asia, you can increase your business success rates and benefit from smooth project processes, more efficient cooperation and better negotiation results. This is why companies operating in Asia are increasingly investing in intercultural competence. This is because many collaborations do not fail due to poor performance: According to the renowned trade journal “Psychologie heute”, intercultural barriers are the cause in around 70% of all cases. The holistic approach of Global Cultures includes intercultural training as well as intercultural coaching and intercultural consulting, so that you can achieve optimal results with this program.

Increase intercultural competence

When working with business partners from Asia, employees are often confronted with seemingly serious problems. In most cases, cooperation does not suffer from a lack of specialist knowledge, but from a lack of preparation through intercultural training in Asia. As numerous studies have shown, intercultural preparation is the key factor in almost all projects, especially when it comes to a diverse region like Asia.

How do you benefit sustainably from intercultural competence?

Creating awareness and trust in Asian business

Intercultural training in Asia enables you to create awareness of your own culture, your own management style and your attitude to working with Asian business partners. This will enable you to build cooperation on the basis of mutual trust.

Success through targeted communication

Targeted intercultural training in Asia will familiarize you with the different mentalities. The specialists at Global Cultures will provide you with the intercultural skills you need to understand foreign strategies and perspectives. In short – intercultural training in Asia as the basis for your business success in Asia!

You will learn how to communicate efficiently with Asian partners. This will also significantly improve the motivation of your employees and their loyalty to the company. After our practice-oriented training, you will eliminate misunderstandings in communication and develop a deeper understanding of the mentality of Asian colleagues and business partners.

A good solution for many countries – our intercultural training is practical for 112 countries.
