Bridging Cultures™ covers the full range of topics connected with cross-cultural encounters at the work-place-abroad as well as at home.It is important to note that the viewpoint of the expatriate’s family is also included. Their contribution to successful cross-cultural encounters is crucial but in other training materials seldom mentioned. Especially helpful for the learner are the self assessments which provide detailed feedback about strengths and weakness. Step by step the learner experiences risks and opportunities of working and living with foreigners. The brilliant optical and acoustical effects provide a stimulating learning environment and can turn learning into fun. The program contains up-to-date, real-world examples and practical applications throughout. It draws on the latest research in IHRM.”
