Week Three Design and submit program for approval by client Produce program materials Week Four Conduct program Culture Culture is the dominant set of behaviors, values, beliefs, and thinking patterns we learn as we grow and develop in society. Culture determines how we view ourselves and others, how we behave, and how we perceive the world around us.
Cultures tend to believe that their way of seeing is the only way, or at the least the best.
Without a basic understanding of the Indonesian language, the foreign professional is severely limited in access to information. Communications concerning events in the office or factory may well be filtered through both cultural and language barriers. However, foreign professionals with a competence in the Indonesian language have access to first-hand information that they might otherwise never receive. Executive Orientation Services, in cooperation with American Language Center, offers intensive Indonesian Language Programs.
