Intercultural Competence in India

The participants are sensitized to cultural differences and similarities between Germany and India. They come to terms with their own cultural imprint and learn about the most important Indian and German cultural standards. They recognize the impact of these cultural differences on communication and cooperation in the corporate context. As a focal point, we work out the differences and synergy potentials between companies in India and Germany.
