Welcome to HinterNet...
Welcome to HinterNet! This is the place where you can learn about cross-cultural issues that really matter. We go in-depth to see how global issues of culture, language, policy, and other factors can affect — and even drive — business. We look at everything from foreign policy and international affairs to language and customs, and how they shape contemporary manufacturing and service industries around the globe...
This kind of information is vital in the world today... and sometimes seems in very short supply. No more facile "Western businesspeople shake hands, Japanese businesspeople bow": we get to the heart of how different behaviors, habits, customs — and most importantly, mindsets — can make or break business in the global arena.
Stay tuned... We're posting some very interesting ideas and insights, and we look forward to your feedback and comments, too...
