WHY? : “THE TIMES THEY ARE CHANGING…”
The world is “flat”
vs.
The world will never be flat
From “add on” to “Olympic minimum”
“Being out there” is one thing, “having learned
something” is however the key question
© Vlerick Business School Prof Dr Dirk Buyens
WHAT? : 5 CORE INTERNATIONAL COMPETENCIES
1. Language skills (good enough beats perfect)
2. The outside-in-view
3. The Multi-etnocentricity reflex
4. The Homelessness skill
5. The seeing through the cultural facade

“It is difficult to describe how ‘wet’ water
is, without diving into it…”
But we can give it a chance by:
The language challenge
The proximity advantage
The pragmatic solutions
THANK YOU!
