Intercultural intelligence for international careers

The same email, silence in a meeting or piece of feedback does not mean the same thing in Geneva, Dubai, Toronto, Tokyo or Singapore. These guides map the professional cultural codes of each destination on the dimensions research has shown to matter: communication context, feedback style, decision-making, hierarchy, trust and time.

Grounded in the work of Hall, Hofstede and the GLOBE project, written for practitioners: every guide pairs the cultural analysis with salary benchmarks and concrete first-90-days advice.
