Prof. Dr. Albach will approach the topic of Intercultural Dialogue from the economic, social, cultural and political side. He will explain about the reasons for a dialogue which are, amongst others, a better understanding of oneself and the culture in which each partner to the dialogue lives, and competition on each partner’s home market and on the global markets. For an economist, competition is an important reason for intercultural communication. He will explain about myths and strategic advantages and the change in Japanese corporate governance.
