Cultural differences can be an obstacle when conducting business overseas. From time to time, businesses may have missed opportunities by not knowing that they have said the wrong word or phrase, selected a wrong image or colour on their business cards or product packaging, or misunderstood cultural greetings when speaking to foreign customers.

This program is designed to help businesses familiarise themselves with conducting business in an international context.

AUSVEG has partnered with Bisnis Asia to create the Build Your Business Overseas – Like A Local cultural business etiquette online training course.

Funded through the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment’s Package Assisting Small Exporters grant program, this course is designed to help businesses familiarise themselves with conducting business in an international context.

This free online course aims to improve vegetable grower-exporters’ export capability, by developing engagement skills that will make a difference with existing and potential customers in four culturally sensitive export markets – Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and the Middle East.

The first course offered focuses on Indonesia and will be held from Monday 23 November to Friday 27 November.

Registrations for the Indonesia course close on Thursday 19 November.
