Books
Sebastian’s vast experience in international business and trade roles has contributed to his unique blend of expertise in management in both local and international environments. As a result, he has developed extensive knowledge and skills required to effectively interact with people from different cultural backgrounds, as well as the ability to successfully navigate through the technical and practical elements of trading internationally. This expertise is reflected in Sebastian’s books.
Intercultural Communication
Communication is the expression of our thoughts and feelings, and culture has a significant impact on how we view the world around us and therefore how we communicate. Different cultural groups communicate differently.
With the recent rise of globalisation and the rapid growth of multiculturalism in society, we are now required to communicate more often with people from different cultural backgrounds.
Intercultural Communication: Connecting With Cultural Diversity first reviews the basics of communication,and then applies that knowledge in an intercultural context, taking you on a journey that leads to improved interactions and relationships, greater success in the achievement of goals, and better outcomes in both your professional and personal life.

International Trade
Sebastian Ioppolo has more than twenty years experience as an international trade practitioner and during that time developed an intimate knowledge of this rapidly growing, dynamic and evolving industry. This practical experience is enhanced by his other professional activities including teaching International Business at Victoria University, facilitating short courses and other development programs, as well as industry consulting throughout Australia.
As a result of this extensive involvement and expertise, Sebastian recognised the need to provide practical ‘how to do it’ and ‘what you need to know’ information for those business people involved in international trade, or those considering becoming involved. There are many International Business books that are written by academics that cover theoretical aspects and designed primarily for tertiary students to assist in meeting education assessment criteria. These text books though do not necessarily reflect all the specific practical knowledge that is actually required to successfully participate in import and export operations.
The books that Sebastian has written are a result of the identification of the need for usable and useful information for this complex area of business. The content is a reflection of the extensive practical background of the author and his intimate knowledge of the industry.
