Where can I find information on business communication styles in foreign countries?
Answer
In the Global Edge database, click on Global Insights in the upper menu and click on by Country. Then select The Netherlands from the alphabetical list and click on Culture from the menu on the left-hand side of the page. Here you’ll find two links to country-specific cultural information for the Netherlands from:
- The Centre for Intercultural Learning
- Culture Crossing
Both of these links will provide information on:- Greetings
- Communication style
- Personal space & touching
- Eye contact
- Gender issues
- Gestures
If you need further help, contact a librarian.
