From one city to another, from one person to another, a culture transition is an event seen and experienced differently by different people.
Culture is our way of life and lifestyles, customs and daily habits vary from one country to another.
Our culture is reflected in our history, in our heritage and in how we express our ideas and our creativity.
Our culture gives each and everyone of us a sense of belonging as well as the ability to empathize and to relate to each other.
Direct benefits of a strong culture include health and wellness, self esteem, skills development, social capital and economic return.
Montreal is a multicultural city where social life is carried out in specific ways. By becoming more alert and more aware of who you are and where you are from, by observing and by learning, you become more conscious of the characteristics of your culture as well as ours.
This is where and when culture issues become easy.
Culture differences in International business, in attitudes and in behaviors are the main reasons why it is so crucially important for each and everyone of us to truly understand our own values, our own social rules and our own mental representations of our environment.
Business rules describe how people think and talk about things. Rules are statements that tell you whether you may or may not do something.
Some of our cultural rules are official and others are officious.
It is, however, very important to pay close attention to the specific characteristics of our organizational culture and our world business.
Cultural mistakes can cost you clients and business opportunities.
We all need to model our behavior on the people who succeed and on those we wish to do business with.
So, in order to help you improve your interpersonal and professional relationships, and to nurture their development, we have listed some of our essential culture issues.
Below and on the following five pages we have listed 65 culture questions related to some of our most common behavioral traits used by some and misused by others in various business and social situations.
It is, however, by spending time with us and us with you that we will both learn how to behave and how to react properly in any multicultural environment. The success or the failure of a business or a social endeavor largely depends on your understanding of our business and our social rules and customs.
Thank you for visiting Culture Transition.
