U.S. & Dutch Corporate Cultures – When Different Worlds Meet

 

Description

We live in a world of an increasing internationalization of business.  Companies expand onto other continents, or establish tight business relationships with overseas partners.

At this NAF Boston interactive event, we will discuss what happens when the different national and corporate cultures meet, and managers cross the “cultural divide”.

A panel consisting Dutch business executives working for companies  in the United States that have a strong Dutch connection will share experiences and exchange views about what the differences between the business cultures, and how these differences can be leveraged to create a strong and coherent integrated global business organization.

The audience is invited to participate in this discussion.
