Check what you know now

You have now completed all six modules of "Cross-Cultural Communication for Exporters." You have built a decision map, a channel plan, a recap template and a repair message you can reuse with real partners. Take the post-test now: it uses the same 10 questions as the pre-test, in a new order, so you can see how your answers have changed. Then put your skills to work with the Template Library, Message Check and the negotiation simulator, and consider retaking the Readiness Assessment in a few months to track your progress.
