The session covered how to do business in the UAE & Middle East with an overview of cultural norms and differences between different regions, and the dos and don’ts of successfully navigating and succeeding across cultures and multi-cultural environments.

With the rate of globalisation, it’s important to realise the intricacies of how culture plays a role in business, especially with a multitude of cultures coming together to accomplish a common objective. Dubai is one such environment fostering nationalities from across the globe, welcoming all.

Mr. Nasif also gave the students a few guidelines to engage with people of different cultures. The first and foremost being not to judge. The session questioned what was considered as norm, if it really needed to be so, ridiculed stereotypes, sensitised the students to different cultures & highlighted business norms in the UAE - all strung together with humour and great presentation.
