Welcome to the 10 January 2009 edition of the International Marketing Review.

Karen Walch presents 5 tips for your next cross-cultural encounter posted at World Café saying…

“Working professionals from all over the world share their adventures in cross-cultural negotiations with us. Here are five tips we have picked up from our network of practitioners at the Garvin Center for Cultures and Languages of International Management”

Steven Rittenhouse presents Reflections on returning to Spain posted at Cross-cultural Program saying…

“For the past three weeks our group has been living in the vibrant country of Spain once again after spending five weeks in Morocco. The minute I stepped onto Spanish soil only a few kilometers from the African continent I instantly felt more relaxed, and as we drove up to the small town of Montoro that same day I noticed many stark differences between the two countries”

EveryDayTrash presents Goods for Good posted at EveryDayTrash saying…

“What I love about G4G is their focus on sustainability.  They don’t just drop off boxes of crap in the capital city and hope that the overstretched government of Malawi figures out how to distribute them equitably (that would be more like exporting trash than helping anyone).”

Cultural Competency Online Course presents The Importance of Social Etiquette posted at  Cultural Competency Online Course saying…

“You will find that standards of politeness and common courtesy vary widely across cultures. This includes knowledge about how to greet different people, rules associated with tipping, giving and accepting gifts, table manners and eating customs, body language and gestures, attitudes toward sacred spaces and more. Even something as seemingly harmless as taking a photograph should be approached with caution in some cultures”

Joseph Cerquitella presents Third Culture Kids in a Flat World posted at Under The Frog saying…

“Working professionals from all over the world share their adventures in cross-cultural negotiations with us. Here are five tips we have picked up from our network of practitioners at the Garvin Center for Cultures and Languages of International Management”
