 Cross Cultural And Language Workshop 

It is our pleasure to invite you to a Cross-Cultural Training Workshop, which is to be held on April 8, 2004.  We have received numerous requests for cross-cultural training as it pertains to doing business in China, and as a result we are instituting a series of workshops focused on bridging gaps for people that interact with China, such as business transferees and their families and the employees of global companies.  In highly interactive sessions, participants will explore the social, political, economic and cultural elements necessary to conducting successful cross-border business transactions.  The workshop will help participants identify the cross-cultural factors that can lead to misunderstandings, and will teach basic language skills to assist in dealing with everyday situations in China.

 

If you have questions, please feel free to call us at 312-368-9911.  We look forward to seeing you April 8, 2004.
