Cultural experiences

by chahnke
The schedule had only considered one topic: A lecture held by Leilani Baumanis (USA), Mehmet Yahyagil (Turkey) and Ayşe Begüm Ötken (Turkey) with the title “Cultural value systems and their influence on business strategies”, which gave us lot of information about the characteristics of different societies. They taught us about the theories of Geert Hofsted and Shalom Schwartz. The session, which consisted of three blocks, also included various group discussions. In our multicultural groups we had the chance to share different viewpoints on interesting topics concerning the societies of the different countries. Afterwards we presented our results to the audience.

At about 4 p.m. the lecture was closed and we could spend the rest of the sunny day in the city of Strasbourg.
