Let’s recap and review
Excelent course, I learned a lot about looking for differences between cultures in work. We are a global community interacting all togheter.
Impressively well-researched course about cultural intelligence. Explanation are clear and recommendation are well-explained. I like the fact that we deep dive in complex subject.
I wish there were discussion questions and several written assignments in order to put in practice the knowledge acquired in this course.
This class is more about the different cultural dimensions than "how to" flex, but then there is no magic formula. One just has to observe and be willing to flex; learning about the different dimensions is certainly helpful when you need to flex.
