However, business practices remain resolutely local.
Attitudes to things like timekeeping, communication style,
and consensus building are deeply rooted in the local
culture. Failure to navigate these fundamental differences
is a major reason for not succeeding in international
business. As a result, employers are increasingly looking to
hire people with the ability to operate in a culturally
diverse environment.
David Ferreira, Class of 2018, discusses alternative Learn to work across cultures
strategies with his classmates in San Francisco.
The classroom diversity at Hult is unparalleled. Over the
course of their degree, the average Hult student will work
directly with teammates of over 30 different nationalities.
Exposure to this broad range of cultures ensures that you
graduate with a true appreciation of cultural differences
and a deep understanding of how to navigate these

You can also choose to take advantage of Hult’s global
