Intercultural Readiness: Translating Talent into Competence

Ursula Brinkmann and Oscar Weerdenburg

Chapter Chapter 1 in Intercultural Readiness, 2014, pp 9-18 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We are all foreigners now. Working life entails some degree of intercultural interaction for most people today: a French investment manager from a development bank visiting start-ups in Africa; an American kindergarten teacher educating children whose parents have brought them from Pakistan; a Brazilian leading tax partner rapidly putting together an international team for a global audit.
