ORIENTATION AND SKILLS

International Perspective

My fellow students at Preston University are from 25 different countries. 1

can easily adapt myself to cultural differences and can picture the

implications of the economic, political and cultural environment of the

business.

National and Regional Perspective

1 live with four different cultures of my country and wherever I go

regarding my work, 1 first of all try to learn local customs and languages.

This helps others and me in communication and making environment familiar

within and outside the organization. While working with government, non-

government, private manufacturing and service organizations and donor-

funded projects of higher reputation, at different level, I have obtained

intimate knowledge of Functions, Management and Administration of these

organizations. This multidiscipline exposure also helped me in enhancing my

Presentation and Report writing skills.
