If your company is establishing a joint venture with a foreign company or arranging to import foreign products, you know how vital it is that the communications between you and the foreign company be clear. Cultural differences can often lead to miscommunication and confusion and may stall or stop your negotiations.

When holding meetings, making presentations, conducting negotiations, or participating in social situations, how you send your message is as important as what you say. You must understand how your message is sent, how your message is received and how to bridge the inevitable international and cultural gaps that exist.
