In this episode of Global Issues Explained, we explore the challenges of intercultural negotiations through the lens of someone living between worlds. Our guest, Firat Tuerhan, a Turkish-German graduate in European Management and current MIB student, reflects on the importance of understanding cultural differences, drawing from his personal experiences and international background. Here, Firat mentions key cultural dimensions such as time orientation, proxemics, social vs. individual orientations, and hierarchical dynamics. Together, we examine how intercultural awareness shapes negotiation processes, discuss current global events through a cultural lens, and reflect on the importance of flexibility and cultural sensitivity. Join us for a thoughtful conversation on how bridging cultural gaps can lead to more effective and empathetic global business practices.
