The demand for videos and training materials on managing conflicts across cultures in organizations has grown significantly in the 21st century. Understanding and respecting cultural differences has become a critical skill in the workplace.
The film directors have constructed a set of useful multimedia tools to assist the trainer, lecturer and self-learner to improve transcultural competencies, transcultural conflict resolution and communication across members of different cultural groups in organizations.
This DVD package includes two DVD discs, one PAL format DVD and a second Data DVD.
The DVD contains a complete set of edited video scenarios. It also includes PowerPoint Programs which have been created using the video material. The combination of video slides and video scenario excerpts highlight specific competencies in the transcultural work environment. The tools are designed in such a way as to allow anyone who is competent in creating PowerPoint presentations to adapt the material to suit their specific needs.
Should you not have access to PowerPoint 2010, there are PowerPoint 2010 viewers readily available on the internet: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13.
The film is a must for mediators, conflict managers, trainers in intercultural and international communication contexts, professionals in the field of cultural sciences, social sciences, organisation studies, organisational development, international management, conflict resolution and mediation, teachers and lecturers at the university, university of applied sciences and college.
