BUSINESS AND BEYOND At Hult, you’ll learn about the world Cultural differences matter more than ever, so at Hult you’ll be immersed in diversity from day one. Global businesses are run by local people Globalization is a fact of business life. Markets are more interconnected than ever before, companies are becoming multinational quicker, and global trade is taking a bigger and bigger percentage of global GDP. However, business practices remain resolutely local. Attitudes to things like time keeping, communication style, and consensus building are deeply rooted in the local culture. Failure to navigate these fundamental differences is a major reason for not succeeding in international business. As a result, employers are increasingly looking to hire people with the ability to operate in a culturally diverse environment. Alena Vorozheykina, Class of 2018, and her team share ideas on how to approach their project. Learn to work across cultures The classroom diversity at Hult is unparalleled.
