What is culture? What is management? What is intercultural management and how does one acquire diversity competence? In the last ten years, the number of people participating in global economy has increased rapidly from one million to about five million.They do business; they trade; they travel locally, regionally and internationally and they have to cooperate and get on with each other. Economic processes are driven by people of difering cultural identities, with diverse talents and competencies and with individual desires and interests. These people have to communicate and cooperate with others on the other side of cultural boundaries. It is an encouragement as well as a changing stimulus of the individual´s own cultural character and a challenge for all who want to be successful in their international relationships. This is not easy to accomplish without cultural competence. This manual is a guideline for multipliers, a manual in which practical suggestions are given for the design of intercultural training courses. Based upon this manual, trainers can develop their own concepts and compile their own individual programs. With many checklists, case studies and overhead master-foils.

Was ist Kultur? Was ist Management? Was ist interkulturelles Management und wie erlangt man Diversity Kompetenz? In den lethten zehn Jahren hat sich die Anzahl der Menschen, die an der Weltwirschaft teilhaben, von einer Million auf rund fünf Millionen rasant entwickelt. Sie treiben Handel, sind lokal, regional und international unterwegs und müssen miteinander arbeiten und auskommen. Wirtschaftliche Prozesse werden von Menschen unterschiedlicher kultureller Identitäten, diverser Talente und Kompetenzen, individueller Wünsche und Interessen gesteuert. Sie müssen sich im Zusammenwirken über Grenzen hinweg verständigen. Dies ist eine Provokation für die eigene kulturelle Prägung und eine Herausforderung für alle, die in ihren internationalen Beziehungen erfolgreich sein möchten. Ohne Kulturkompetenz ist das nicht leicht. Dieses Handuch ist ein praxiserprobter Leitfaden für Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren, ion dem praktische Vorschläge für die Gestaltung interkultureller Trainings gegeben werden. Trainer/innen können hieraus ihre eigenen Konzepte und Programme entwickeln und individuell zusammenstellen. Mit vielen Checklisten und Folienvorlagen, Fallstudien und Rollenspielen.
