Working with International Virtual Teams

Working internationally is one thing. But working with an International Virtual Team adds a couple of challenges.

I call it you're missing the "touch" factor; meaning that you're missing those visual queues that you would otherwise you would have.

In this podcast, we only touch on one factor of the four primary dimensions of culture: Hierarchy (there are three more, but that would take too much time; should you want to know more, contact us!



"When it's appropriate have a "Friday Afternoon Visual Drink."

How to Do Business in the US

Why the US Is Sometimes Ahead and Sometimes Behind

In this podcast of early December 2020, we talk about recent developments and how different cultures/countries are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.



"Sometimes the USA is ahead of the rest of the world, and sometimes they're behind".



Why is it that the US constructed an ultra-modern interstate system in the 1950s, but then let it deteriorate to a point where billions of dollars are needed to bring it back to a decent state? A similar observation applies to other infrastructures, such as airports. At the same time, why is it that companies like Amazon, Google and Apple are so far ahead with industry leading technology?

We'll take a look at the COVID-19 pandemic and show how the cultural dynamics surrounding the pandemic are similar to the above mentioned observation of "being ahead and behind." We'll look at this from an international business perspective and add a theoretical framework for the audience to better understand what to expect when doing business with the US.

Get Culturally Competent when Doing Business in the US

The main message of this podcast is that if you want to do business with the USA, you will encounter the dynamics of "ahead and behind". To be successful in doing business in the US, you'll need to get culturally competent, even if you're from a comparable culture like the UK! You need to understand how Americans think and work and, of course, how your own culture might impact. Your business success will depend on it!

The Culture Matters in International Business Podcast

A new Format for this Podcast

Your Hosts:

Chris Smit

Peter van der Lende



"Understanding cultural differences can be the descisive factor in success or failure in International Business"



In this short introduction podcast, we explain the new set-up of our podcast: We'll take a look at the impact that cultural differences have on doing International Business.

Some topics that you can expect are:



* Why the US is Sometimes Ahead and Sometimes Behind (Airport Tech.) 

* Direct and Unfiltered Feedback: The Problem (Dutch) 

* North versus South (America, The Predictability Dimension) 

* Trial and Error or Engineering (German versus American) 

* Fair Warning or Caricaturing (The Undutchables)? 

* Do as The Romans Do (but not in Italy – KLM and Alitalia) 

* The Costliest International Failures 

* Let Me Summarize (Please Don’t), North European vs South European 

* The Far East is Not Far if You’re There (something on Asia) 

* Something related to fake news? 

* The rudest people on earth (Dutch, Russian) 

* The most polite … 





* What dominates: Company culture or National culture? 

* How does personality relate to one’s national culture? 

* Can you get “rid” of your national culture (e.g., when you live in another country)? 

* The “superiority notion” when it comes to you and the “other” culture. 

* Unexpected cultural correlations: the use of deodorant, gambling/lottery/scratch cards. 

* How marketing is not culturally neutral (e.g., selling a Volvo station car in the US versus Sweden) 

* Humor in different cultures and what you maybe should not do (e.g., being/going over the top being Dutch) 

* Project management in different countries/cultures. 

* How to manage multi-cultural virtual teams? 

* What about the fifth dimension of Hofstede’s model (and why rename some other dimensions)? 

* Assessments - including cultural preference or cultural competence - value-adding or hocus pocus. 

* Covid-19 (and other non-related health issues) and cultural differences.
