Like a cultural melting pot, the United States gathers ethnic and cultural diversity. Working with Americans means not only meeting different personalities, but also diverse working styles and approaches to business.
During our meeting, we will explore this fascinating mix of cultures, discovering what are the key ingredients for successful collaboration. We will examine the various correlations and stereotypes associated with American business culture to strengthen our understanding and ability to work together effectively.
Ready to travel through a cultural melting pot?
During the meeting we will approach the following topics:
- what are the American values and how do they influence the behaviour of the Americans
- what has influenced the formation of American business culture
- what to answer to the popular “How are you?”, or building a first impression
