Intercultural competence and collaboration with individuals from diverse national origins are today important skills.

The authors discuss practical approaches for intercultural trainings, methodology, and evaluation procedures based on current research. They explore the intercultural factor within corporations particularly as it relates to human resource development, negotiating, dealing with conflict, and project management.
