Communication Differences

This chapter discusses and evaluates research on cross-cultural communication differences in online learning at the university level. It starts out by discussing the growth of online education in recent years and the historical context of online education. The chapter then evaluates research on differences in cross-cultural online learning primarily between university students from the Western part of the world compared to students from the East. Barriers in cross-cultural online education cited in the literature include language, technology, and instructional design. Future research on Western-based online education should assess cross-cultural differences for students from other parts of the world including Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America.

<p>In today's globalization, each country in the world is exporting its own economic, political and cultural ideas. The animation industry is part of the cultural industry. China is at a disadvantage in the export in cultural industries. There is a huge gap between China and countries like Japan, Europe and the United States and other countries regarding the animation industry. Therefore, it is necessary to learn the experience and technology of advanced countries to improve ourselves, not only to improve the animation production capacity of China, but also to enhance cultural influence in the international community.</p>

As corporations expand and their business activities increase, their focus is not limited only to the local geographic region but to the world. This, in turn, has led to the emergence of multinational corporations, sometimes called transnational corporations or even global firms. With the advent of new political ideologies, multinational corporations have found their firm footing all around the world. Having a cross-cultural team can help in providing a varied experience and advanced thinking in the establishment of competitive position among organizations. Definitely, there could be some interference in completing projects due to this diversity but the manager should be better equipped to face this challenge so that to avoid and prevent cultural misunderstandings. In this paper we will try to look at some of the theories related to cross-cultural management and some methods such as motivational training of employees dealing with the related issues. The paper shows that global project management can succeed through culturally aware leadership, cross-cultural communication, and mutual respect.

Interactive Nature

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) and the properties of the online environment in general are inherently suited to help educators reconceptualize their role and engage in constructive cross-cultural communication. This is due to the new technologies’ potential to enable collaborative teaching in an environment of diverse users and to support multiple learning styles. At the same time, the presence of collaborative technology itself does not guarantee that successful cross-cultural communication and learning will take place. The disembodied nature of online communication can sometimes add to the inherent challenges that accompany face-to-face cross-cultural communication. Instructors who teach in cross-cultural contexts online will need to engage with the new technologies in a more purposeful way and apply that engagement to program design and teaching practice. They will need to devote some time to designing for interaction and collaboration in order to overcome common challenges in cross-cultural communication. A more systematic study of the open-ended and interaction- enabling properties of the World Wide Web would help those who design for diversity in online educational environment. The open-ended and interactive nature of the World Wide Web, as the main platform for online crosscultural teaching, can serve as a conceptual model to help teachers overcome common challenges in cross-cultural communication.

The present study aims to explore the factors that hinder the realization of cross-cultural communication. It is culture that defines the participants of communication, the choice of topics and communication strategies, the context, the way and conditions of transmitting messages, the method of encoding and decoding information, the set of communicative steps, and so on. In the process of the contact of cultures the national-specific peculiarities, unperceived during intracultural communication, become apparent. During cross-cultural contacts a clash of two worldviews talces place. In this article we make an attempt to consider the mechanisms of transformation of the vision of the world in the process of cross-cultural communication, using two contacting linguocultures as an example.

It is broadly recognized that cultural factors act as invisible barriers in international business communications. As such, understanding cultural differences is an essential skill for both business educators and business practitioners as geographic borders become increasingly fluid. This chapter provides a framework for both business practitioners and educators engaged in international business. Seven themes are suggested for future research: cultural impacts of markets, international vs. domestic business communication, standardization vs. adaptation in cross-cultural communication, cross-cultural dimensions of business communication research, cultural aspects of the business communication mix, cultural aspects of business communication in the service sector, cultural communication implications of the aftermarket, and cross-cultural business communication education and professional training. The chapter concludes with suggestions that business anthropology be adapted as a tool for culture on international business and education.
