“Despite popular beliefs to the contrary, the single greatest barrier to business success is the one erected by culture."
~Edward T. Hall and Mildred Reed Hall, Hidden Differences: Doing Business with the Japanese |

Globalization has created unlimited, unprecedented business opportunities around the world, but at the same
time business
has become more complex, dynamic, and competitive. Understanding the business culture of global
markets gives organizations a competitive advantage. Underestimating the impact culture has on
business
can lead to misunderstandings, communication
breakdown, missed opportunities and loss of reputation.

cross-cultural training
and leadership coaching. Our goal is to assist clients develop critical cultural intelligence and essential skills to effectively address the specific needs and challenges for business success.

INDIA |

Forbes India list the Indian economy as the 5th largest in the world. India is a major player in the global economy with extensive business opportunities.
Reasons: India offers opportunities across a broad range of industries; India has an extensive, cost-effective pool of talented English-speaking professionals; India’s industrial and consumer markets are rapidly growing offering opportunities for companies to sell products and services.
Key Challenges: Difficulty in building a shared understanding of cultural norms; miscommunication resulting from a mismatch of expectations; different levels of English proficiency and understanding Indian accents; challenges of working within a hierarchical culture and a relationship versus task focused business approach; understanding “yes” and ensuring deliverables get completed on time. |

PHILIPPINES |

The Philippines is one of the world’s top destinations for outsourcing, including BPO, talent acquisition, call centers. It is estimated that there are more than 1.5 million professionals employed in the BPO sector alone.
Reasons for this include: high-level English proficiency, strong affinity to Western culture and Western education, highly educated low-cost workforce, specialized offshore staffing companies and a service and customer-oriented culture. |

VIETNAM |
| |
Why are more and more companies moving some or all of their eggs out of the China basket?
Reasons include: increased geopolitical tensions; threat of a trade war; increasing labor
and production costs; greater supply chain diversification. According to a recent CNBC report, “Vietnam will
see the greatest increase
in wealth over the next decade.”
There is a planned effort in Vietnam to become the next global manufacturing hub,
after China. While the opportunities in Vietnam are great, so are the challenges. Even for those with significant experience
working in Asia, Vietnam presents several unique challenges. |
