SUMMARY:Geschäfte mit den USA - das Land voller Gegensätze verstehen
DESCRIPTION:Endlich verständlich: USA \nDie Wahlen des Jahres 2020 und der bevorstehende Regierungswechsel haben erneut gezeigt: Die Vereinigten Staaten bleiben ein Land mit Widersprüchen und zum Teil gegenläufigen Kulturen. \nVermeiden Sie interkulturelle Zwischenfälle bei der Zusammenarbeit mit Kollegen\, Kunden und Zulieferern in den USA. Tappen Sie nicht in die Ähnlichkeitsfalle: Firmen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum lassen sich oft täuschen von der Annahme\, Amerika und Mitteleuropa seien einander kulturell ähnlich.\nAusgehend von dieser falschen Prämisse setzen Unternehmen beim Aufbau des US-Geschäfts Ziele fest\, entwickeln Strategien\, suchen Mitarbeiter aus\, und definieren Organisationsstrukturen. Daraus entwickeln sich in der Regel teure Lektionen. \nDie USA sind in mancher Hinsicht in der Tat eng mit dem deutschsprachigen Europa verwandt. Viel wichtiger ist – und oft wird das ignoriert oder es besteht kein Bewusstsein dafür – dass die USA sich gravierend von Deutschland\, Österreich und der Schweiz unterscheiden. \nWer in den Vereinigen Staaten Geschäfte machen will\, kommt nicht darum herum die Kulturkluft zu erkennen und Wege zu entwickeln\, diese zu überwinden. Wer glaubt\, seine “deutsche Art Geschäfte zu machen” einfach nur auf Englisch fortführen zu können\, wird in den USA scheitern. Beispiele hierfür gibt es genug. \nIn unserem Webinar erfahren Sie\, was die wichtigsten Stolperfallen der American business culture sind. Wir zeigen Ihnen Methoden und Werkzeuge\, mit denen Sie die Kulturkluft meistern können.\nWas ist für Sie drin?\n• Lernen Sie die wichtigsten cultural values der USA kennen\, und wie diese sich im Vergleich zu den kulturellen Werten in D/A/CH verhalten\n• Sehen Sie\, wie diese Werte alle Belange des Business beeinflussen: Kommunikation\, Verhandlungen\, Geschäftsbeziehungen\, Teamarbeit\, Mitarbeiter- und Unternehmensführung\, Problemlösung\, Personalentwicklung\n• Entdecken Sie Tools und Strategien\, die Ihr US-Geschäft nach vorne bringen
