Cross-Cultural & International Blogs
This is one big blogroll for all of the blogs and websites I’ve enjoyed reading on cross-cultural and international business topics. They are on a wide variety of topics but all of them are useful in acquiring cross-cultural and international business skills.
Many of the people behind these blogs and websites are also on Twitter and have interesting things to say there too. So remember to have a look at the list of people I recommend following on Twitter. And be sure to check out the other resources here too where you’ll find some more interesting links.
