The event also is designed to give the curious a cross-cultural awareness of the country. UD students, including international students, faculty, staff and administration, the Dayton Sister City Council and the Miami Valley International Trade Association are especially encouraged to attend the event. The fair primarily will benefit those UD students who, as part of a student exchange program, will travel this summer to Augsburg, Germany. Topics discussed will include geography, communication, government, culture, religion, work relations, food, economics, education, management styles, do's and don'ts in Germany, demographics, trends and the German workforce. To better understand other cultures in a business context, Dean Stilwell, a UD associate professor of management and marketing, created the undergraduate course to help students increase their chances of success in today's global marketplace.
Culture has a major impact on how people behave, no matter the particular culture.
We can then use those differences to create synergy, to create something better.
