Management Training across Cultures: The Challenge for Trainers

Abstract

The increasing internationalization of business and the development of a single European market will have implications for training and development. Looks at the implications for trainers of working with managers from other countries and cultures. Applies the research of Hofstede, Laurent, Tayeb and others and suggests that there are a number of cross‐national and cross‐cultural implications from training participants from other countries. These relate to the content of training, training methods, expectations about the provision of training, trainer competences and language skills. These form challenges which trainers will need to consider.
