Do you know how many businesses fail dramatically in closing lucrative deals and/or retain trusting and profitable relationships when doing business with complex and diverse cultures especially in the Asia markets? Multi-million dollar opportunities have fallen into the “business revenue drains” because of varied cross-cultural communication barriers between the Western and Eastern world particularly in the fastest growing Asian market place.

Your secret sauce of international business success is critically dependent on your level of “AusAsia cultural intelligence.

Whether you are ready to embrace it now or later, highly effective cross cultural communication is the major key to success in todays’ age of globalization particularly in the multi-billion dollar Asian market place.

Is recruiting in Asia different to recruiting in Australia?  Stacey chats to Rachael Mah of AusAsia Training Institute about why having a business partner “on the ground” is vital for success in Asia and on how you can manage risk in Asia and the cultural differences.

Rachael Mah is the Founder and CEO of AusAsia Training Institute, based in Melbourne. A boutique training and advisory firm, Rachael partners with her clients to develop culturally focused business strategies, communication and risk control skills.

Rachael was born in Malaysia and travelled to Australia as an International student when she was 18 years old. She lived with an Australian family in Melbourne. From the get go Rachael experienced the cultural differences.

A veteran of the Asian marketplace, Rachael assists corporates, SMEs and government around the world to win business and build profitable relationships.
