Course Introduction ›

“We don’t see things are they are…we see things as we are.” Quote by Anais Nin

The above quote is the source of many differences in the cross-cultural challenges faced by expatriates and international managers when they are assigned to their job in a new country. Unfortunately, many corporations failed to recognise the importance of the cultural baggage one carries and the inability to adapt to a new culture is one of the most cited reasons for relocation failure.

In order for the expatriate to work effectively and successful in the new culture, we familiarize them with the issues on working and living in Malaysia. Topics such as understanding culture, managing transition, differences in values, culture dimension, management and skills sets shall be discussed.

We prepare expatriates and international managers to think global and act local ie. 'Glocal' which means one has to be open to new ideas and yet embedded in one’s own culture.
