Dear Friends of CEIBS, 

We cordially invite you to attend the CEIBS Executive Forum on April 11, 2019 with CNNMoney Switzerland TV Anchor Ms. Martina Fuchs for a special talk on Cross-Cultural Communication in a Volatile Economic Environment.

As UK leaders and citizens struggle to reach a consensus on what the word ‘Brexit’ truly means, as the US and China try to find the right words to bring their trade dispute to an end, and as a new world order dawns — with China and India as the strongest economies — the importance of effective communication across geographic locations and cultures has never been more important. To effectively navigate today’s volatile economic environment, we require cross-cultural communication and understanding. Business leaders of today and tomorrow will have an important role to play in these discussions and in the conversations they will need to have to ensure their businesses succeed both locally and internationally.
