Audio conference highlights


Jean Monnet, the founder of the European Community, once declared, "If I were again facing the challenge to integrate Europe, I would probably start with culture." Culture is the context in which things happen. Whether you develop, market, sell or purchase products for a global audience or interact with people from around the world -- even if they work in the next cubicle -- you must address the issues of culture to be effective.


How and why do the needs of people from one country differ from those in a different country? How do you assess this? In this presentation we examine definitions of culture and consider how cultural differences are expressed. We will then explore the use of tools called cultural models, review the variables that define these models of culture, and weigh their usefulness. We also discuss how to develop a customized model of culture for your particular context.


This audio conference covers:


  • Defining culture, cross-cultural communication, and context
  • Understanding the power and influence of culture
  • Recognizing and identifying cultural bias and its consequences
  • Popular models of culture from the U.S. and Europe
  • Creating a cultural model that makes sense
  • Collecting cultural data about your target market or audience
  • Applying cultural data to create localized products

I thought that the level of detail was enough to stimulate thought and make the listeners want to go do more research. I do think that more concrete examples would have been helpful ... i.e., how you would use this information to craft messaging.
