The facilitators presented intercultural and accelerated learning criteria for assessing intercultural learning tools. A dialectical approach that looks at culture as a process rather than as a static unchanging "thing" is a foundational premise. |

L. Robert Kohls, a pioneer of the field of intercultural communication, recently wrote to us: "Your contribution to the field is enormous! I am working on a history called "Benchmarks in the Development of the Intercultural Field," and the Cultural Detective will certainly be one of the benchmarks I include. You have done a most impressive piece of work on them!!!" Just released in April: Cultural Detective Malaysia and The Philippines! 21 cultures are currently available, with free previews. Now you can search our database of nearly 200 critical incidents by culture, industry, job function or key words, making it much easier to inject a cross-cultural component into your existing training on topics such as sales, customer service, negotiation or procurement. |
