This is as true for the smallest businesses in the country as it is for large established organisations, where employees themselves are Poles Apart and the clash of cultures is causing turbulence. So, are you a Penguin or a Polar Bear? What skills do you need, and what risks do you face, to make the journey to warmer climes?
