Is all that glitters gold?

It goes without saying that international capacity building also bears some risks, e.g.

• excessive expectations on both sides
• vague agreements
• strong self-interests
• social and family obligations

Especially in view of these risks it is helpful to work with people who know and appreciate our culture.

1. Companies, industry unions and associations that build up and maintain worldwide cooperation and business units
