Ausgabe 6/06: Trading Across Borders, Communicating Across Cultures (Part 1) Globalisation is a fact of life and, really, nothing new. Whether it's American fast food chains, Indian cashmere, or Chinese computers, the tastes of the global village have always mobilised the transfer of products, services, and know-how. Especially in the age of discount travel and information technology, we marvel almost from day to day at how small the global village is becoming. Indeed, this can be quite deceptive. As the cross-border and transcontinental movement of goods and people increasingly becomes the norm, cross-cultural interaction continues to be seen in mostly technical, organisational, and financial terms. Especially business professionals tend to overlook the fact that, while data and goods themselves are mostly neutral and cross borders relatively easily, the people who discuss and critique information over meetings and make decisions often are not. |

Ausgabe 1/07: Trading Across Borders, Communicating Across Cultures (Part 2) Business people need to learn to see through different cultural lenses. While we may not always be entirely aware of all the problems that can come out of left field, if one knows where to look, one begins to see the same basic recurrent cross-cultural issues at work, simply in different dress. In part 2 of this article on intercultural communication in the global workplace, we look at how profound differences impact the way in which cultures approach classic business scenarios, and how these clashes consistently crop up to throw business professionals for a loop. |
