International Business Workshop and Open House |
|
|||
| Description: | You are cordially invited to attend a special workshop presented by Dr. Bidhan Chandra, international business educator, intercultural consultant, corporate trainer and Associate Professor in International Business at the Center for Distance Learning. |
| More Info: | The 21st Century provides us with opportunities to become more global in our business and economic activities. New York State businesses are constantly endeavoring to increase their commercial interactions with companies and organizations in countries around the world. But they can also face serious challenges as a consequence of their lack of understanding of cross-cultural communication. Participants in this workshop will gain a better understanding of key success factors for creating and sustaining more meaningful business experiences in a world of cultural difference. Using a powerful video dramatization of an international business organization’s venture, this session will illustrate the complexity of effective communication to meet personal and organizational missions and goals. The topics covered will include: language barriers, mismatch of understanding and expectations, conflicts around tasks and relationship issues, building trust, remote communication, people management issues, and best practices for international effectiveness. Immediately following the workshop there will be an Open House in celebration of International Education Week featuring ethnic food and music. Please R.S.V.P by Friday, November 13th. There is no charge to attend this event but registration is required as space is limited. |
