Cross-Cultural Twitter Interviews

icontwitterbird 21 Websites for International InspirationAre 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

  1. 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
  2. CBI.eu offers cross sectors market info. CyborLink has lots of local quirky facts in several countries – @ohh_la_la
  3. Don’t have just 1 favorite website. Try the Goethe Institut@HoeferleConsult
  4. I sometimes read foreign local news sites. Local news is very real – real people in normal everyday things- @dkiernan
  5. For information and business with Germany we like to use Germany.info we also love to browse news websites of foreign countries to read about their news from their perspective look up international newspapers at Headlinespot@transdomo

    Thanks Clément! I intentially decided to ask the same 10 questions on all Cross-cultural Twitter Interviews so I could re-purpose them. And there’s a wealth of information in the nterviews to share, so it’s great to see it all collated this way.
