As the vast wave of Globalization advances, doing business with people from overseas is set to increase drastically, no matter what kind of job you may have.
How can we make use of this richly diverse working environment to better contribute to our teams or companies? How can we use this cultural knowledge to effectively conduct business negotiations?
