I am working on a new training workshop that's intended to be different from the usual black/ white/hispanic/male/female sensitivity (make nice) training. What I am looking for is content that will help managers and supervisors relate comfortably with international visitors, clients, contractors, and employees. We have a need for content related to France, Germany, China, Korea, and various Latin American countries. Can anyone point me in a good direction on this. |

I am not a trainer, but I know there are ton of material on this topic.
There is one on Europeans, I forget the name, I think its "Us Europeans" or something, i bet amazon has it, that discusses cultural differences. There are lots of workshop materials about deals gone bad overseas.
Hofsteder of course has the famous 4 variables separating culture:
power distance, individualism, "masculinity" and risk aversion.
I took a class on this in barcelona, outside the united states this kind of material is mandatory in business schools.
It shouldn't be hard to find things, type "cultural communications" "Hofstede" on Google and I bet you get some starting points
