  • 1.  Training programs for cross-cultural trainers?

    Posted 02-20-2007 09:49
    Hi there,

    One of my MBA students is looking for a training program that would
    provide her with the skills and knowledge to work as a cross-cultural
    trainer. She has extensive cross-cultural experience herself and has
    been looking at the course offerings of Diversity Training University
    International in San Francisco. Are you familiar with similar part-time
    and online programs? Are there any that you are involved in that you
    would recommend? I'd greatly appreciate any pointers you may have.

    Regards,

    Markus Vodosek

    Hello Markus,

    There is a part-time, mixed-delivery (online and classroom) certificate
    program offered through the University of British Columbia's Centre for
    Intercultural Communication. This is the website:

    Hello Markus,

    Probably studying Geert Hofstede's work is self-evident for any
    cross-cultural management scholar, but let me recommend here one of his less
    known books:
    Gert Jan Hofstede, Paul B. Pedersen, Geert Hofstede (Eds.). Exploring
    Culture: Exercises, Stories and Synthetic Cultures. 234 pages. Yarmouth,
    Maine: Intercultural Press, 2002, paperback. ISBN 1-877864-90-0.
    It has plenty of interesting exercises and fun games to use in
    cross-cultural training.

    An overview of the concepts and info on the other books you can find at
    www.geerthofstede.nl
