Business meetings in a cross-cultural environment present quite a few challenges. The way a meeting is conducted in Japan is different than in Brazil, for example. Communication styles vary from culture to culture, as do ideas about authority and hierarchy, which only increases the risk of misunderstanding between members of different cultures during business meetings. Therefore, online meetings in a cross-cultural environment require a special approach and adequate preparation. When hosting a meeting with people from different cultures, consider the different needs and approaches of your colleagues.
If online conferencing with people from different cultures is part of your everyday life, I invite you to our upcoming meeting. We will talk about the impact of cultural diversity on business meetings.
During the meeting you will find out:
- How does cultural diversity affect business meetings?
- What challenges can arise when meeting people from different cultures online and how do you deal with them?
- How do different communication styles affect the meeting?
- Representatives of which cultures conduct meetings according to the agenda?
- Is small talk always welcome to start an online meeting?
- How do different cultures approach time?
- Do authority and hierarchy influence the meeting?
- How can you prepare well for an online meeting?
Different cultures’ approaches to the concept of time will be discussed by:
