Cross-cultural Advice

New Zealand is now a multi-cultural society operating in a globalised economy. As a result, most of us now are now in daily contact with people who come from a very different cultural background.

  • How do we do business across cultures?
  • How do we interact successfully with these people?
  • How do we adjust to their expectations while still retaining our own cultural norms?
  • What are the mistakes – for business, potentially costly mistakes – which we should seek to avoid?

These are some of the questions which we address when offering cross-cultural advice.

Euroasia's clients come from various sectors including businesses, government and non-profit.

The services we provide include:
  • facilitation of cross-cultural business dealings
  • marketing advice and lead generation
  • facilitating introductions and sourcing market intelligence
  • training for staff from outside New Zealand on the cultural expectations of New Zealanders
  • in-depth briefings on the people, the culture and the business environment of specific countries
  • full training programme on generalities or specifics relating to particular cultures
  • translation, interpreting and other language requirements
Companies and organisations are most likely to benefit from cross-cultural training and support if:
  • working extensively with clients or contacts overseas
  • planning to target new demographic markets domestically
  • planning an export drive in a new market or setting up operations overseas
  • employing staff or sourcing suppliers from diverse cultures here in New Zealand
  • sourcing suppliers from overseas
  • employing staff at an offshore branch
