International and Intercultural Teamwork

For team leaders and team members (in English)

International business increasingly requires the work with or in international and incultural teams. To know about the cultural differences and what effect they can have on the behavior of team members, on the communication and consequently on the collaboration of teams, is useful both for team leaders and for team members. International teams tend to work virtually at times. It is therefore helpful to have a clear picture of the challenges, the opportunities and the synergies of virtual teams.
