About the event
The Middle East is a diverse, hugely lucrative but also challenging export market. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the UK’s largest civil export market in the region and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Arab world and an important export partner.
Western and Arab cultures have very different views on how to do business and it is important to get a deeper understanding of what these differences are and how to overcome perceived barriers.
This half day training will help you to improve your communication with partners in the region. Knowing your way around the do’s and don’ts in business culture will save you from uncomfortable miscommunications. The Middle East is a difficult market to penetrate, so it is important to get it right.
The training will cover:
- Arabic business culture: religion, beliefs, values, attitudes and customs
- Arabic business and economic environment
- Arabic business communication and negotiation style
- Challenges and solutions for doing business in this region
- understanding and overcoming common trade barriers / pitfalls
- market entry and protecting your business
- ease of doing business
- e-commerce strategy
