Intercultural Communication

Transcript: Intercultural communication Social convention Aceptation Fundaments Culture is an ability that just humankind posses A serial of hitngs and events dependents of the symbolic Etnocentrism The basic skills of intercultural communication are fundamentally general communication skills that can be used universally by all cultures and races. These skills are simply tweaked in a direction that takes the cultural limitation into consideration. An example of such communication skills in the intercultural environment is to listen without judging, repeat what you understand, confirm meanings, give suggestions and acknowledge a mutual understanding. Intercultural communication is of importance to international businesses as it examines how people from different cultures, beliefs and religions come together to work and communicate with each other. Demands for intercultural communication skills are increasing as more and more businesses go global or international. They realize that there are barriers and limitations when entering a foreign territory. Without the help of intercultural communication they can unknowingly cause confusion and misunderstandings.

Intercultural Communication

Transcript: If there is EC, both may know that A's attitude to B is one of sexual attraction, friendship, hate, dominance or submission. There may be a rapid sequence of communications, in which EC plays a central part, and which serves to establish the relationship between A and B. Definition of Communication The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender. David Cohen. (2007). Body Language What You Need To Know.

Ensure the information you provide is in written format and presented scientifically. Once a decision has been reached minds are very rarely changed. Punctuality is a serious issue, being early or late shows disrespect for peoples' time Germans will be direct to the point of bluntness In Japan, a business meeting cannot start until business cards are exchanged. Very important to be punctual. Some Japanese close their eyes when they want to listen intently. Don’t see contracts as final agreements so they can be renegotiated. Japanese understand it is very difficult for foreigners to do business Appointments should be made several weeks in advance. If possible, wait to be introduced as it can be seen as impolite to introduce yourself, especially in a large gathering It may take several meetings for Japanese to become comfortable to conduct business with you. Cultural differences are really important when you want to make a business. That's why we think it's always good to be prepared and know some things about the culture with whom you're going to negotiate. This would keep you from having unwanted misunderstandings and have a succesfull meeting and relationship with the other part. Thank you for your attention! JAPAN 1 J A P A N 2 Impatience for achieving quick results, and a strong concern with establishing the "truth”. 8 *Those who dress according to their status or position impress the Japanese. Dress to impress. *Women should not wear pants in a business situation. Japanese men tend to find it offensive *Women should only wear low-heeled shoes to avoid towering over men. *The Japanese do not talk with their hands and to do so could distract your host. . Would you feel offended if you would've been in the German business man position? People rather “live in order to work” and draw a lot of self-esteem from their tasks. Japanese nodding or saying “yes” only means they are listening to what you are saying. It does not indicate agreeme Putting harmony of group above the expression of individual opinions. Indicating Agreement G E R M A N Y JAPAN J A P A N *Drinking is an important part of Japanese culture. It is a way to relieve business stress. *An empty glass is an invitation for someone to serve you more. *If you are invited to the home of your Japanese host, consider it a great honor and display a tremendous amount of appreciation. *It is perfectly acceptable to slurp your noodles. Doing so will exhibit your enjoyment of your food. To do otherwise, indicates that your meal was not a pleasant one. *Gift giving is very important both business and personal gifts *They do not touch in public. It is highly inappropriate to touch someone of the opposite sex in public.
