Abstract:

Залежно від когнітивної орієнтації людини, яка використовується для розуміння культурних відмінностей, люди можуть реагувати на неї різними способами. У процесі знайомства з різною культурою людина може відчувати різний стан міжкультурної чутливості. Щоб досягти найвищого рівня міжкультурної чутливості, людина має здобути усвідомлення різниці між культурами, виявити схожість, зрозуміти важливість міжкультурної різниці, дослідити та дослідити іншу культуру та нарешті розвинути емпатію до іншої культури.
В зависимости от когнитивной ориентации человека, используемой для понимания культурных различий, люди могут реагировать на это по-разному. В процессе знакомства с другой культурой человек может испытывать различное состояние межкультурной чувствительности. Чтобы достичь наивысшего уровня межкультурной чувствительности, человек должен осознать разницу между культурами, обнаружить сходства, понять важность межкультурных различий, исследовать и исследовать другую культуру и, наконец, развить эмпатию к другой культуре.
Depending on individual’s cognitive orientation used to understand cultural differences people can react to it in different ways. During the process of acquaintance with different culture, an individual can experience different state of intercultural sensitivity. To reach the highest level of cross-cultural sensitivity an individual has to acquire an awareness of difference between cultures, discover similarities, grasp the importance of intercultural difference, explore and research into the other culture and finally develop empathy toward the other culture.

Abstract:

The modern world is becoming increasingly globalized in its nature of existence. One of the characteristic features of globalization is the interaction of individuals as well as civilizations. A special status is being acquired by intercivilizational relations, the basis of which is intercultural communication, as far as the people’s needs of cultural understanding, desire to know the inner world of each other lead to the communication processes intensification that become systematic. Only by finding consensus mankind can solve global problems and be protected from self-destruction.

Abstract:

Despite the globalization and cultures’ convergence, it is scholarly recognized that cross-cultural issues are important in a business context, especially for companies extending their activities internationally. However, existing theory does not provide an explicit answer of how cultural differences between countries influence customers’ perception of different aspects of marketing communication mix. That is why the underlying task of the current paper is to investigate if cross-cultural differences within the same geographic region are big enough to affect customers’ perception of marketing communication mix used. To facilitate a data collection, Central and Eastern European region represented by Ukraine and Czech Republic were chosen. As a reference tourism industry was used, due to its’ current significance, scale and global nature. Data was collected by conducting secondary and primary research, both having quantitative nature. Secondary data was collected through statistical offices and official on-line sources. For the primary research purposes a questionnaire survey was conducted among pre-defined target audience in Czech Republic and Ukraine. 300 responses obtained provided a solid basis for the further analysis. Based on the relevant theory and secondary research findings four hypotheses were developed to address the research question “Does cross-cultural differences within Central and Eastern Europe affect the marketing communication mix in a specific industry?”. The study results provided that cultural differences exist not only between different regions, but also found within the same geographic region. When considered from marketing perspective, they are significant enough to influence customers’ preferences and perceptions of different aspects of marketing communication mix. The results obtained are specific for a particular case, so they can not be applied to some other countries. However, when it comes to marketing communication perceptions, the results can be used as guidelines by other industries then tourism

Scott, Kirsten. "Pidgin plait : fashioning cross-cultural communication through craft." Thesis, Royal College of Art, 2012. http://researchonline.rca.ac.uk/1152/.

Full text

Abstract:

Through this research, I examine how new, natural, socially and environmentally sustainable materials for western couture millinery may be sourced from a group of marginalized women in south-eastern Uganda, underlining the continued relevance of craft as a mode of production that is both flexible and inclusive. Post-colonial, western perceptions of ‘African’ aesthetics are deconstructed and reconstructed through plaited, palm leaf braids that reflect the irregular surface texture found in traditional African artefacts. These create both a metaphorical and visual ‘pidgin’ language that holds meaning for craftspeople in the developed world as well as for the makers. In the process, questions have been asked about western requirements for product uniformity and how the ‘hand of the maker’ - as signified by irregularity – may be positioned in the markets of industrialized and post-industrialized societies. By creating a product with the potential for longevity and versatility, I have attempted to minimize some problems inherent in sourcing from small-scale craft development projects. The research has been practice-led and is supported by this written dissertation. My own craft practice as a millinery designer and field trips to Uganda - in order to establish a working relationship with the makers, understand their circumstances and to develop the Pidgin Plaits - has been at the core of a process of exchange. Cultural and industrial networks have also been developed in Uganda that may support the longer-term sustainability of the project. Through my research, I identify the considerations confronting the designer seeking to establish such a project and explore the multiple social, cultural and economic factors that impact upon the makers in Uganda,in a project with the potential to transform lives and cultures.

Abstract:

Nowadays, in times of maintaining economic contacts with the world market there is an increasing need to understand each other through cross-cultural communication. The effect of culture on international businessmen ventures is multifaceted. Cultural differences deeply affects market behavior. International marketers, therefore, need to be as familiar as possible with the cultural traits of any country they want to do business with. These differences require international businessmen to have good analytical abilities and sound business acumen to make viable decisions and operate successfully. Practically all business decisions are culture-bound.

Abstract:

Problem: While the multinational teams consisting of members from different nationalities,backgrounds and cultures have advantages of diversity in the workplace, the differencesbetween team members can also pose the challenges. Our study focuses on InformationTechnology (IT) project teams in organizations located in Sweden. The rapid growth oftechnology and IT sector, increasing demand in IT professionals, and the knowledge ofwriting universal code allow people to work internationally regardless of citizenship.Therefore, the workforce in the IT sector is rapidly growing and diversifying — it ischaracterized by teams consisting of different nationalities. However, these differences incultures, languages and nationalities can complicate the communication processes betweenthe team members. Therefore, efficient cross-cultural communication within a team isessential for team collaboration and performance. Purpose: The study aims to find the significant issues in the process of adaptation to the newculturally diverse environment faced by immigrant professionals in IT project teams. Thestudy mainly focuses on an individual level, consequently expanding it to a collective level,as the related challenges refer to collaboration among the team members. Method: The study was conducted by interviewing immigrant professionals who have beenworking in IT project teams in the companies, located in Sweden. The participants belong tosix different nationalities and have worked in Sweden for approximately 2-8 years. They areall male aged between 30-33 years old. After the interviews, we can present findings, whichdemonstrate the points of similarity and difference. Conclusion: Technology, which is a significant factor in IT projects, constantly changes, andtherefore, IT project teams that work with innovation require high adaptability to explore newopportunities. That makes effective coordination and communication essential. In theculturally diverse team, managers should manage global mindset and cultural intelligence forindividuals to help team members in adaptation process. Cross-cultural training should beprovided to the migrant professionals in the team to avoid miscommunication based oncultural differences, hence overcoming challenges.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to study cross-cultural communication from a Chinese perspective. Professional relationships between the West and China have become pivotal in the political, economic, and cultural domains. It is, therefore, of importance to understand and make use of different communication practices in a bilateral context. This research draws upon studies in the field of sociolinguistics and the material consists of Chinese papers and journals as well as interviews and questionnaires. The results show that the differences in communication practices from a Chinese perspective are considered significant in terms of certain aspects; the reasons at large being argued as cultural and societal. The results furthermore show that direct communication style is regarded as confrontational and emotionless, the strong emphasis on the individual is seen as rude and impolite and the Western concept of negative face is not applicable to Chinese conditions. Factors as high and low context, collectivism and individualism, direct and indirect communication style as well as face is of great importance to better understand and avoid pragmatic failures regarding professional relationships in a bilateral context.
本文的目的在于从中文的视角来研究跨文化交际。中瑞双边关系在政治、经济和文化等领域都十分关键。因此，在中瑞双边语境下，正确理解和应用不同的交际习俗也变得非常重要。本文通过总结社会语言学领域的研究成果，参考中文报刊杂志的语言材料，结合问卷和访谈，得出了以下结论:中瑞交际习俗的差异在某些特定方面影响显著，其原因在于文化和社会方面。在中文的视角下，直接交际的交际风格被认为是具对抗性的和缺乏情感的，而在西方文化中，“面子”的贬义概念并不适用于中国的情况。在中瑞双边语境下，正确理解高语境和低语境、集体主义和个人主义、直接交际风格和间接交际风格等因素对于更好地理解双边关系、避免语用失误有着极其重要的意义。

Abstract:

The study examines the concept of cultural determinism in relation to the business interview, analysing differences in language use between English, French and West German native speakers. The approach is multi- and inter-disciplinary combining linguistic and business research methodologies. An analytical model based on pragmatic and speech act theory is developed to analyse language use in telephone market research interviews. The model aims to evaluate behavioural differences between English, French and West German respondents in the interview situation. The empirical research is based on a telephone survey of industrial managers, conducted in the three countries in the national language of each country. The telephone interviews are transcribed and compared across languages to discover how managers from each country use different language functions to reply to questions and requests. These differences are assessed in terms of specific cultural parameters: politeness, self-assuredness and fullness of response. Empirical and descriptive studies of national character are compared with the survey results, providing the basis for an evaluation of the relationship between management culture and national culture on a contrastive and comparative cross-cultural basis. The project conclusions focus on the implications of the findings both for business interviewing and for language teaching.

Full text

Abstract:

Both the public and private sectors currently encounter the telescoping urgency for effective cross-cultural coventuring in business, educational and personal arenas. Existing descriptive models for organizing cultural information are either simplistic and superficial or so complex as to be inaccessible or overwhelm the user. This study uses Saunders' theory of model construction as an informing hypothesis to develop a model for cross-cultural coventuring. An integral part of this conception is a definition of culture which uses Villemain's insightful concept of qualitative meaning. Integrating this type of meaning within Saunders' Inquiry Cube allows for categories through which even the most subtle and unarticulated variables making up the human enterprise and the value base of those cherished and celebrated human ideals can be sorted, classified, and set into a taxonomic design. This hierarchical pattern provides direction and parameters for greater cross-cultural exploration. The methodological sequence of the Cultural Inquiry Cube is further translated to a psychological sequence which is more readily comprehensible to the learner. The greatest potential for widespread use of this model seems to be in microcomputer applications. Compact disc technology including CD-ROM and CD-I promises accessibility not possible heretofore.

Full text

Abstract:

The rapid telescoping of the need to communicate cross-culturally in an ever widening range of contexts sets the basic circumstances for this study. Private and public sector interviewing become more important as cultural and cross-cultural factors emerge in coventuring enterprises. Standard interviewing programs and procedures do not usually focus on cross-cultural variables. A model is necessary through which to orchestrate the interview in a generic form and into which substantive illustrations for cross-cultural interviews can be placed. The Cube model designed by Dr. T. Frank Saunders, in his Double Think book, was adapted to this purpose and provides a comprehensive and exhaustive format for this study. The advent of CD ROM, high storage and easy retrieval computer technology, makes the design presented here an effective and efficient system for the collection and collation of demographic and ethnographic data. The Cube model and procedures set forth in this study should facilitate the data collection and development of an interview manual for cross-cultural interviewing.

Abstract:

Over the last 30 years, technology has made it possible for people to travel to other cultures in a cheaper and more efficient way. The increased traveling has made it possible for an increase in trade and as the trade flourishes the need for people that can handle the differences between the cultures in the world increase. Some people handle cross-cultural negotiations better than others; we want to know how Cultural Intelligence influences The Business Negotiation Process.

To find out how Cultural Intelligence influences The Business Negotiation Process we choose to conduct qualitative interviews with a few Swedish companies that have experiences of cross-cultural negotiations with China.

The findings indicate that Cultural Intelligence influences The Business Negotiation Process by different factors such as engagement, communication and understanding. The greater engagement and understanding the negotiator has of the different parts the more likely it is that the business negotiation process will have a positive outcome.

We studied as much literature as we could find about cultural intelligence and the business negotiation process. Out of our findings, we build a model, and this gave the opportunity to test the different parts of the model in our research.

Our contributions to the field are foremost the discovery of the two new dimensions: Structure and Power Dependency that can be added to both Cultural intelligence and The Business Negotiation Process. In future research, these two dimensions can be further researched and developed. In our research, statements from our respondents create a small practical guideline for cross-cultural business negotiations with China. The negotiators might have use for this guideline when negotiating with Chinese companies.

Full text

Abstract:

This study investigated cultural differences, U.S.A. and Japan, in the selection of compliance-gaining strategies by lower status people as differentiated from a group leader in a short-term, task-oriented relationship. The subjects for this study consisted of 114 (59 male and 55 female) U.S. college students and 165 (65 male and 100 female} Japanese college students. All subjects lived in Oregon. After the subjects read the hypothetical scenario which involved changing a task for a classroom project, a 21 item questionnaire was administered. The questions were taken from Kipnis, Schmidt, and Wilkinson's (1980} study, and a six-point scale was used. The 21 questions were categorized into four compliance-gaining strategies: rationalization, exchange of benefits, ingratiation, and assertion. Rationalization and exchange of benefits were used to test hypotheses regarding culture as a whole. Hypothesis one was "Japanese lower status people who are in short-term, task-oriented relationships will use more rationalization compliance-gaining strategies than U.S. people who are in short-term, task-oriented relationships," while hypothesis two was "U.S. lower status people who are in short-term, task-oriented relationships will use more exchange of benefits compliance-gaining strategies than Japanese lower status people who are in short-term, task-oriented relationships." Ingratiation and assertion were used to test the hypotheses regarding gender in different cultures. Hypothesis three was "U.S. lower status females who are in short-term, task-oriented relationships will use more ingratiation compliance-gaining strategies than Japanese lower status females who are in short-term, task-oriented relationships," and hypothesis four was "U.S. lower status males who are in short-term, task-oriented relationships use more assertion compliance-gaining strategies than Japanese lower status males who are in short-term, task-oriented relationships."

Abstract:

This study investigates the refusal realizations of native speakers of American English (AE), Turkish (TUR) and Turkish learners of English with advanced level of proficiency (TRE). It aims to uncover the refusal strategies of young AE, TUR and TRE in conversations between equals and also to uncover if the learners display pragmatic transfer in their refusal strategies. In addition to this, the extent to which the social variables of level of closeness and refusal eliciting acts affect the refusal productions of each group is pursued. The thesis also aimed to provide an explanation for the rapport management orientations of the three examined groups when refusing equal-status interlocutors. To this end, the data are collected from three different groups using a Discourse Completion Test (DCT), which is developed out of the situations in a TV Serial. The analysis of data is done manually and each refusal is coded. CLAN CHILDES is utilized in order to see the typical combinations of refusal semantic formulae used by three groups. Later, PASW is used to run descriptive statistics and calculate the frequency and percentages of refusal strategies/semantic formulae. The results of the study show that refusals and rapport management orientations while refusing status equal interlocutors are culture and situation specific and they differ both cross-culturally and intra-culturally. Research findings also reveal that TRE often produce pragmatically appropriate refusals because refusal strategies they use correspond to those of AE. However, there are some cases in which the evidence of pragmatic transfer are observed with respect to the frequency of certain semantic formula usages.

Abstract:

Cross cultural communication is difficult because of the different cultural parameters. The cultural experiences define your perspective. Behavior in culture, moreover, is dependent on many factors as historical, sociological and psychological experiences. These experiences further define your worldview and determine your reactions.

Abstract:

This thesis has been created as a response to the growing interest among small and medium-sized business-to-business software developers to internationalise in order to grow their businesses. The initial study of the problem lead to the insight that a strategic mix of communication channels is a key success factor for an internationalisation. The purpose of this thesis was therefore determined to be to explore what and how different factors influence the effectiveness and efficiency of a business-to-business marketing communication mix strategy that leverages the brand, in the context of internationalisation of software developing small and medium-sized enterprises. Academic literature within three areas, related to the purpose of the thesis, was identified and discussed and presented in a frame of references. The first area concerned the development process of a strategic business-to-business marketing communication mix. Following this, the culture factor, including how communication is affected by cultural differences, was considered as a relevant area to study and add to the frame of references. Finally, the internationalisation process of business-to-business small and medium-sized enterprises was studied. Based on the study of academic theory, an analytical model was constructed and targeted issues for each area identified for the subsequent empirical study. An explorative case study approach was found to be suitable for the purpose of the thesis. It was performed by conducting qualitative interviews with representatives of the studied case company as well as a selection of its customers. Additional secondary data was withdrawn to triangulate with the primary data for the analysis of culture. By applying the analytical model to analyse the empirical evidence, using the academic theories and models from the frame of references, insights were generated and conclusions could be drawn. The analysis found that a key success factor is to build credibility in the eyes of prospects, regardless of where they are on the journey from being unaware of the company to becoming loyal customers. This is due to the risk avert nature of business-to-business decision makers. The most important factor for establishing credibility is to be able to show strong customer references, which makes nurturing present customer relationships a critical activity for success. Further, it was firmly established that the particularly long sell cycle that characterises the software industry in which the studied case company operates in, requires the communication channels to be integrated in order to be effective for the whole customer journey. Channels through which the communication can be adapted to suit a specific audience should be prioritised. Also, cultural differences and similarities should be considered, especially when it comes to views on power and the level of social restraint in the country to which the internationalisation is directed. The digitalisation of communication is a trend that evidently has a significant impact on the effectiveness of a marketing communication strategy. Digital communication channels are becoming increasingly relevant and suitable for communicating customer references, demonstrating product features and conveying corporate brand messages. By developing a business-to-business digital marketing communication strategy that is culturally adapted, the preconditions for the internationalisation of small and medium-sized enterprises are improved. On a final note, this Master’s thesis has identified a number of factors that influence the effectiveness and efficiency of a business-to-business marketing communication mix strategy that leverages the brand, in the context of internationalisation of software developing small and medium-sized enterprises. While this has contributed to academic theory, the findings concerning how these factors influence the effectiveness and efficiency provide practitioners with actionable insights. It is therefore the belief of the authors of this Master’s thesis that the content of this report can help managers of internationalising software developing small and medium-sized enterprises in their communication strategy development process.

Abstract:

This study aimed to look at the importance of cultural awareness across the hospitality industry as a whole and the industry's response to this issue. The research set out three hypotheses based on one main research question. The research question postulated was: What guest services are Sydney and Atlanta hoteliers providing to meet the needs of guests from different cultural backgrounds? The research was carried out using a descriptive qualitative research design, additionally a cross-sectional time frame was used. The research was conducted within the hotel population in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America, and in Sydney, New South Wales. Australia. The research was completed through the use of a mail-questionnaire, however there was a relatively small sample size and a low response rate. The average hotel that responded to the questionnaires were three star properties located in the city centre or suburbs with an average of one hundred rooms, and an average occupancy rule of between sixty and eighty percent over the previous twelve months. The data was analysed using SPSS to calculate frequency distribution and percentages. Cross- tabulations. Chi-square tests, and correlations. The analysed data showed that hoteliers ranked the issue of cultural awareness as important to the hospitality industry, thus hypothesis one was accepted. However further analysis showed that hoteliers' beliefs are not affected by the grade of the property to which they are attached. The analysed data showed that even though the majority of hoteliers provided less than four of the listed facilities to their guests, there was a positive relationship between the perceived importance of cultural awareness by hoteliers and the level of the facilities that are provided by the hoteliers, and therefore hypothesis two can be accepted. Furthermore the data revealed that there is no relationship between the star grading that a hotel has achieved and the level of facilities that they provide. The third hypothesis related to the training and/or incentives that hoteliers provided to staff in the area of foreign language or cultural awareness training. Initial analysis showed that the majority of hoteliers provided limited training or incentives to their staff. Further correlation analysis indicated that there is a strong relationship between the importance of cultural awareness and the training/incentives that are available to employees. A final analysis showed that the perceived importance of cultural awareness had a greater impact on training/incentives for Atlanta hoteliers than with Sydney hoteliers. Consequently hypothesis three can be accepted as there is a positive correlation between the level of ascribed importance assigned by hoteliers to the cultural awareness issue and the range of culturally sensitive training that is provided 10 employees. Thus the study found that while hoteliers believe the issue of cultural awareness is Important, the training they have available and their facilities provisions do not reflect this. This has major implications for the universities and colleges that provide hospitality management courses.
