"Value differences between nations ... from centuries ago are still present today. For the next few hundred years at least, countries will remain culturally diverse." G. Hofstede & G.J. Hofstede
Consulting is the most involved form. Through consulting, we can share our specific knowledge about certain industries, countries and functional areas (such as product development, negotiations and managing cross-cultural teams). We will help you implement detailed tasks towards your goal.
Example: A U.S. company and its Chinese vendor are entering into a new relationship. They are negotiating the contract terms and find it hard to come to an agreement. Possibly, this is caused by the cultural differences and the different negotiating styles from the two countries. Connect East acts as a third party mediator to bridge the differences and help bring the partnership to the next level.
