Intercultural awareness for global prosperity

Most professionals are satisfied to say, “I am a global citizen”, but are we really prepared for all the consequences of carrying on business in the international arena? Merely one aspect, of many, that we may not always keep in mind is that of intercultural awareness, especially from a global citizenship perspective. Being part of a nation that is culturally rich in diversity, one would expect that South African professionals can adapt quite easily to new cultures. It is, unfortunately, not so easy, and many common pitfalls regarding international cultural obliviousness can be easily avoided by focusing on certain key areas when designing your strategy to enter the international business arena.
