How to overcome cultural differences?

How to overcome cultural differences?

You might face some cultural differences when you'll work with a nearshore or an offshore team. In Asia you will encounter greater cultural differences compared to Western Europe / USA than in Central or Eastern Europe. 

Let us tell you how our clients usually overcome cultural differences. If this is an important subject to you, please consider:  
– to work with European partners only. Cultural differences are rather small in our experience in this situation.
– work with Asian partners with European/US roots or connections. We do have several partners with a western management and (head)offices in Europa or the US, with a lot of western clients, etcetera. That will solve a lot of the challenges you might face.
