All over the world organizations are finding themselves increasingly engaged in cross-cultural communication, whether they are doing business in another country, sourcing products from abroad, managing an increasingly multicultural workforce at home, or appealing to customers from a variety of cultural backgrounds. As a result, intercultural communication skills are not a distant need for the future, but a real need right now in the workplace. Singapore has a particularly vibrant community that provides us the insight and experience to interact with a culturally-potent business environment. This course develops an awareness of cultural priorities and intercultural communication skills and applies them to practical business communication and professional contexts. All business is international. And how you communicate makes a world of difference.
