"Intercultural Management": Insights from Intercultural Mergers

DJW members Dr. Rolf D. Schlunze, Carsten Watanabe, and Aoi Ono would like to invite you to contribute to the DJW Working Group "Intercultural Management". In our working group, we aim at discussing various intercultural aspects of working in a Japanese-German business environment. The DJW Working Group "Intercultural Management" meets on regular basis to discuss the topic of intercultural competence.

Our guest speaker Derric Low will help to deepen our understanding of what is important for building mutual trust and achieving results in an inter-cultural environment through practical negotiation. He will share his experiences and proven boilerplate for leading a multicultural team through a wide range of changes at Nippon Paint. The session with him will be interactive. Breakout sessions provided opportunities for participants to join the discussing pro-actively. 

Derric is head of Nippon Paint Materials Co., Ltd. responsible for the procurement and trading. He has worked with diverse members across multiple organizations and countries.

Looking forward to a lively session!

Meeting Flow

During our meetings all participants are invited to share their opinion and alternative solutions to these issues.
