Doing Business with Russia and Cross Cultural Training
(ContentDesk) November 11, 2004 -- Political and economic stability, government reforms and restructuring, a strategic geographical location and a huge consumer and labour base all make Russia a highly attractive business partner for the present and the future.Trade links between Russia and the UK are continually strengthening. UK Trade and Investment quote a 43% rise in trade between the two countries over the past year. In addition, the UK is now Russia's biggest foreign investor. Russians are also investing in the UK, most publicly highlighted by Roman Abramovic's acquisition of Chelsea Football Club.Indeed trade with Russia is at present a highly lucrative affair. Opportunities are to be found in the energy industries, construction, education, healthcare, security and consumer goods.
However, many UK based businesses are tentative about dealing with Russians, not out of financial concerns but linguistic and cultural ones."Russia still carries some cultural baggage with it left over from the Cold War years," explains Neil Payne, Director at cross cultural communications consultancy, Kwintessential. "At a personal level this has manifested in misunderstandings and communication problems between business people."Kwintessential are now offering cross cultural training courses to individuals and companies in the UK and Russia with the aim of building platforms of mutual trust and understanding. Their cross cultural training courses are aimed at a variety of business personnel including investors, exporters, managers and HR staff. "Each cross cultural training course is tailored to meet the needs of our clients but most deal with key areas such as examining values, ethics, culture, business practices, communication styles and etiquette. The aim of the course is simply to break down cross cultural barriers to effective communication through equipping people with the skills to build profitable business relationships," adds Payne.Cross cultural training has in the past decade proved to be of invaluable assistance to businesses in overcoming some of the cultural challenges brought to the business world by internationalisation and globalisation.
As the spaces between nations continue to shrink, it is vital that cross cultural awareness and understanding is fostered between peoples.

Study Shows Additional Health Problems Caused by Drug Addiction
A study funded in part by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) that was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine looked at nearly 750 people that entered an HMO addiction treatment program. The data gathered regarding other social and medical conditions was compared to over 3,600 other patients who were also members of the HMO but who were not identified as having an addiction. The study found that those receiving treatment for substance abuse were more likely to have the byproducts of lower back pain, headaches, arthritis and of course depression and anxiety, which are common with most drug users. Though this study has only recently been done, it has been known for decades that somatic illnesses can result from the ingestion of toxins such as drugs, both legal and illicit. Many people throughout society have some type of nutritional deficiencies.
Since drug use depletes the body of essential vitamins and minerals their overall health condition naturally worsens,...

When is the best time to prepare for your success in life? What's that you say? " I have to actually have to prepare for it? Doesn't success just happen?"No. It doesn't. If you want to improve your life you have to take the action.An article by Jim Rohn who is a well-known motivational speaker said:"Here's the great challenge of life. You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are.I have found that income seldom will exceed your own personal development. Once in a while income takes a lucky jump, but unless you grow out to where it is, it will go back to where you are.Somebody once said if you take all the money in the world and divided it among everyone equally, it would soon be back in the same pockets.However, you can have more because you can become more.
Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you've got. In order to have more, you have to become more."Are You Prepared To Take A Risk?Doing things you haven't done before can be...
