Question
Hello
I'm doing a research on the impact of nonverbal communication between different cultures
So far it's been hard for me to find a person/book that provides a real life example on how nonverbal communication can impact a business outcome, especially between different cultures
Could you give me some examples on the effects of nonverbal communication between foreign cultures?
I would also be happy if you could provide me a website that specializes on nonverbal communication between different cultures
Waiting for your reply
John
