“Understanding cultural differences can be the descisive factor in success or failure in International Business“
In this short introduction podcast, we explain the new set-up of our podcast: We’ll take a look at the impact that cultural differences have on doing International Business.
Some topics that you can expect are:
- Why the US is Sometimes Ahead and Sometimes Behind (Airport Tech.)
- Direct and Unfiltered Feedback: The Problem (Dutch)
- North versus South (America, The Predictability Dimension)
- Trial and Error or Engineering (German versus American)
- Fair Warning or Caricaturing (The Undutchables)?
- Do as The Romans Do (but not in Italy – KLM and Alitalia)
- The Costliest International Failures
- Let Me Summarize (Please Don’t), North European vs South European
- The Far East is Not Far if You’re There (something on Asia)
- Something related to fake news?
- The rudest people on earth (Dutch, Russian)
- The most polite …
- What dominates: Company culture or National culture?
- How does personality relate to one’s national culture?
- Can you get “rid” of your national culture (e.g., when you live in another country)?
- The “superiority notion” when it comes to you and the “other” culture.
- Unexpected cultural correlations: the use of deodorant, gambling/lottery/scratch cards.
- How marketing is not culturally neutral (e.g., selling a Volvo station car in the US versus Sweden)
- Humor in different cultures and what you maybe should not do (e.g., being/going over the top being Dutch)
- Project management in different countries/cultures.
- How to manage multi-cultural virtual teams?
- What about the fifth dimension of Hofstede’s model (and why rename some other dimensions)?
- Assessments – including cultural preference or cultural competence – value-adding or hocus pocus.
- Covid-19 (and other non-related health issues) and cultural differences.
