Synopsis:
In the financial markets industry having a strong global presence is no longer an option, it is a requirement. With many regions experiencing stunted growth, the developing economies can offer potential investment opportunities. Additionally firms are able to leverage more economic global resources to protect the bottom line. In order for firms to reap the benefits that are available by expanding their global footprint, an appreciation and understanding of diverse cultures must be fostered. This course will raise your awareness of different cultural norms, priorities and values and equip you with tools to flex your approach to achieve optimal results when venturing into new territories.
