About this webinar:
The new digital economy has further internationalized our value chains and the way we do business. From colleague, outsource partner, customers and even our neighbors and friends, more and more people around us come from different cultures. So today, intercultural competence is a critical success factor in business and life in general. In her session, Anna will review cultural diversity in the CEE and Switzerland. As a Polish citizen having lived and worked 20 years in different regions in Switzerland, she will share her personal observations about common misconceptions about the CEE and Switzerland. Building on her academic work, Anna will conclude with 4 keys to successful cross-cultural collaboration.
