MIT is inherently international, both in the global work of its faculty, students, and staff as well as in the composition of its diverse community. To help you learn more about your colleagues and collaborators here at MIT and all over the world, MIT partners with GlobeSmart, an online resource that contains culture guides for 101 countries (MIT credentials required).
GlobeSmart’s culture guides can help you work effectively across cultures by providing you with in-depth, country-specific information and guidance on topics such as:
- General background (core values, history, politics, language, travel, etc.).
- Business practices and tips.
- Communications and relationship building.
- Customs and protocols.
GlobeSmart also provides tools and learning modules on workstyles and improving teamwork across cultures.
Please contact Tammy Greenwood to schedule a virtual demonstration of GlobeSmart led by an experienced GlobeSmart Engagement Manager for your group.
Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand: Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!
