How to Work Successfully in German Culture/eLearning

With businesses becoming increasingly international, intercultural management skills are more and more a "must have" qualification – even for company positions, that traditionally evolved little in the way of international contact. This need naturally leads to challenges in knowing how to deal professionally with people from other cultures. The right tools and cultural knowledge are invaluable when working internationally.

Thanks to its strong position as an exporting nation, Germany is frequently seen as a potential source of business partners, but as a culture, it has quite unique working methods. For example, to others, the extremely direct way of communication, analytical approach and clear distinction between the work and private person sometimes make German people appear unapproachable and not easy to work with.
