Business Talk: Cultural diversity at work

Description

Globalization is picking up. In 2016, Chinese dealmakers have completed 171 acquisitions with a disclosed deal value of $88.4bn across Europe. As a result, acquisitions are becoming an important way for businesses to grow and gain knowledge.

Diversity in the workplace has been an important topic within many organizations for several decades but the growing numbers of millennials in the workplace have made the topic more important than ever. Consequently, more and more leaders manage intercultural teams. From the US software programmer to the French CEO managing Ukrainian branch: success of your business relies on people from different backgrounds in your team and your ability to manage them and your relations with them.
