Opis

The purpose for this guidebook is to provide practical training for individuals wishing to become more globally competent, whether their reasons of interest are to create new intercultural relationships; to prepare for an upcoming trip, perhaps a holiday or vacation to a new country or culture; to offer academic or business training for students, teachers, employees, or leaders; to prepare personally for a new job; or to plan for a new training experience within a current job that will require interaction with, or work within, another country or culture. In this book the reader will find research from a literature review gathered from over two hundred and fifty publications and on-line resources written on the subject of Global Competency, including a study undertaken at the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford. The reader will also be introduced to a collection of personal cultural narratives provided by our international friends who are globally active and knowledgeable-CrossCultural Practicing Professionals-sharing their culture and personal experiences from their homelands or places of intense interactive research and involvement.
