Cross-Cultural Twitter Interviews
Are you interested in international business but need some inspiration. Here is a list of online resources collected during my Cross-Cultural Twitter Interviews.
21 Websites for International Inspiration
- Anne Fox at Absolutely Intercultural and Centre for Intercultural Learning in Canada. International.gc.ca – Good for research at least: Geert Hofstede and then compare with other info on the internet - International Business Etiquette – World Business Culture – Kwintessential - Fons Trompenaars very influential thinker on the subject. But not much free resource on the internet unlike Hofstede. – @deborahswallow
- CBI.eu offers cross sectors market info. CyborLink has lots of local quirky facts in several countries – @ohh_la_la
- Don’t have just 1 favorite website. Try the Goethe Institut – @HoeferleConsult
- I sometimes read foreign local news sites. Local news is very real – real people in normal everyday things- @dkiernan
