Your Field Guide to More Effective Global Video Conferencing As a global expert in video conferencing, and a geographically dispersed company that uses video conferencing in virtually every aspect of its business, Polycom developed this collaboration guide to help businesses everywhere use video to be more successful. Video meetings today often bring together participants from multiple countries and cultures, which gives businesses the ability to make complex decisions more quickly, build greater trust among colleagues and customers, and foster greater understanding of challenges and opportunities. However, to be most effective, participants should invest time developing an understanding of the business etiquette and cultural norms of the other countries represented on the call. Polycom created this guide, in part, to help speed that process by providing readers with a quick and easy reference to developing those skills and having more successful meetings. We hope you will use these insights into cultural variations in 15 different countries to get the most out of your video meetings when collaborating across borders.
