The significance of intercultural communication for businesses and the obstacles that managers should overcome in achieving effective intercultural communication
Communication is one of the most important functions to master in order for any business to be successful in today's increasingly competitive markets, particularly for firms doing business internationally. In the business communication we can generate a symbiotic mutualism to meet the needs and desires of our lives as human beings. If communication is the element that distinguishes us as living beings with bodies, the business is also an important element that distinguishes us not only with objects, but also distinguishes us as humans with animals. If we combine these two elements strength, Communication with Business, it would be something extraordinary, especially if we had mastered the unification of these two. However, this fact does business communication, business communication is communication that is used in the business world that includes various types and forms of communication to achieve business goals. Because this communication is the communication that occurs in the business environment, we must not violate the norms set by the business world when doing communication. Usually business communications have strict rules, hard, formal, and without tolerance. In the business environment there are various means of communication that can be used by firm to communicate with consumers, it means that communication available among others in the form of a agreement, letter of shipping, delivery wire, telephone conversations, personal visits, advertising etc.

Executive Summary
Purpose
The effective management of cultural diversity is identified as one of the best ways of creating an inclusive corporate culture that brings the best out of each employee. Most organizations, however, do not have in place effective policies and processes that can be used to ensure the organization caters for the needs of individuals from different cultures. A culturally inclusive workplace eliminates barriers associated with cultural backgrounds that would otherwise interfere with employee performance. By understanding the impact that cultural factors have in the work environment, managers can identify effective policies that encourage cultural diversity.
Problem
Not all managers realize the importance of managing cultural diversity and the impact that it can have on an organization. The fact there are no clear cut procedures on managing diversity is also a problem for managers as identifying policies that can work and those that cannot be difficult when dealing with a highly diverse workforce. Stereotypes about people from a certain culture can, for example, affect how they are perceived in an organization by people from other culture and may lead to misconceptions and attitudes that can negatively affect productivity.
Solution
The paper proposes a cultural map that makes it easier for managers to identify the common traits that people from different cultures may have. The information derived from this map provides information that can be used to develop the most inclusive policies that will enable managers to create a workplace that supports diversity.
Conclusion
Managing cultural diversity is of key importance in organizations that intend to create an inclusive workforce that is focused on productivity. Using a cultural map, managers can gain a better understanding of how culture can affect employee performance and consequently develop effective policies that can accommodate people from different cultures.

Core Competencies of an Effective Cross-Cultural Manager
Cross-cultural management broadly involves handling workforce teams comprised of people of diverse backgrounds. Though usually considered ethnocentric, as we have discovered, one's "culture" is an amalgamation of the individuals, groups, environments and experiences that have shaped thoughts, perceptions, values, and beliefs. To manage diversity, organizations take action through formal and informal structures that are designed to create greater inclusion of employees. This effort includes implementation of deliberate policies and programs that support an inclusive workplace strategy. In addition, managers and leaders of diverse teams must be developed to be culturally competent as well as educated on laws and precedents related to workplace discrimination and appropriateness.

Report to CEO
Diversity is a common feature that exists in most organizations. It is a characteristic that increases its prevalence as a company grows regarding hiring more members of its human resource workforce. Diversity also increases when a firm grows out of its current geographical scope. It is an unavoidable occurrence in every growing organization and therefore, it is crucial for managers and CEO's to understand the importance of learning how to control the effects of diversity in their companies. When diversity is not managed adequately, it can cause adverse effects which may lead to the failure of an institution. This report offers insight on cultural diversity which one of the most prevalent types of diversity in firms. It also illustrates a plan on how to control the adverse effects of cultural diversity.
Cultural diversity in the workplace
Culture refers to a person's way of life. It encompasses an individual's heritage based on social patterns, acceptable behavior, beliefs, values, customs, norms, and attitude. All people have different cultures, and therefore cultural diversity is a standard feature. Even though people may come from the same home town, their culture may be different depending on how they were raised (Lambert, 2016). This phenomenon explains the existence of differences in personal cultures. This situation causes challenging situations in the workplace since the human resource managers of growing companies hire individuals from different regions. Cultural background is rarely considered while hiring employees into a company. The recruitment team in a firm considers the skills that a person has and the services that the worker can offer to the organization (Lambert, 2016). Therefore, the employees in most companies are from very diverse cultures. In some cases, this situation leads to conflicts between the workers.
Importance of diversity planning
Diversity planning refers to organizing ways in which people from different cultural backgrounds in the organization can unite and work to achieve a common organizational goal. It is crucial for a company to develop diversity planning to ensure that their workers are all committed to achieving common objectives of their firm. Diversity planning allows employees to share ideas that are instrumental in enhancing business processes in an organization (Price, & Nelson, 2018). Employees grow significantly when they are exposed to a variety of cultures. Therefore, diversity planning enables employees to gain much personal social growth effectively. Some of the workers can discover untapped talents and make use of .

Introduction
Effective communication is important for the success of any business. According to statistical reports from Forbes, the corporate with the best communication tools achieve their objectives easily as compared to businesses with poor communication. Consequently, the aim of this presentation is to help business managers to understand the usage of effective communication tools to improve communication to all the stakeholders in the organizations. Although the basic responsibility of a business manager is to motivate the employees to give out their potential, this cannot be achieved without effective communication. It is therefore the responsibility of a business manager to identify the communication needs and provide effective strategies aimed at improving communication between the stakeholders. Therefore, business managers should understand that communication is significant since it helps in delegation of the basic management functions.
Communication Problems in My Company
There are several communication problems that have been identified in my company. Failure of delegation of duties is one of the main communication barriers for any business. Every employee expects the management to provide sufficient information for the kind of business that they are supposed to work. Lack of a common code of conduct also prevents the organization from having a common language that can be used to delegate duti.

In management of multi-generational teams, the form of responses received by the managers depends on the kind of generation being asked. That is, generation Y normally prefer using text messages to communicate while the baby boomers and the older Gen Xers normally prefer using emails or phone calls. Moreover, the communication style used depend of the environmental context.

This document discusses the importance and process of communication in business. It makes three key points:
1. Communication is essential for businesses to function effectively as it allows for coordination between departments, clarity on goals and tasks, and ultimately higher profits. A lack of communication would severely hamper a business.
2. The objectives of business communication include informing employees, persuading stakeholders, educating staff, training workers, motivating teams, integrating divisions, building relationships, and entertaining to relieve stress.
3. The basic process of human communication involves a sender encoding a message and transmitting it through a channel to a receiver who decodes and responds. Feedback from the receiver back to the sender can clarify or confirm the message was

MANAGERS CROSS-CULTURAL EFFECTIVENESS !3
cultural communication skills are essentials to achieving effective and productive international negotiations. In past years, negotiations involving managers from different backgrounds have not yielded much result because of the tone of conversation, facial expressions, and other culture-specific nonverbal cues. Therefore, managers should be equipped with appropriate knowledge and competence to manage complex business situations arising from cultural differences.

On the basis of global cultures, would people from the United States, Japan, or Chile be more
comfortable with a group or team-based approach to work?
Solution
“There’s a typical default way that we all act in our respective cultures. It is the way that we give
feedback, greet people, praise or don’t praise, so all sorts of things would be different across
cultures.
Multicultural teams offer a number of advantages to international firms, including deep
knowledge of different product markets, culturally sensitive customer service, and 24-hour work
rotations. But those advantages may be outweighed by problems stemming from cultural
differences, which can seriously impair the effectiveness of a team or even bring it to a
stalemate.
Creating successful work groups is hard enough wherein the global work force is geographically
dispersed. When team members come from different countries and functional backgrounds and
are working in different locations, communication can rapidly deteriorate, misunderstanding can
ensue, and cooperation can degenerate into distrust.
This multicultural challenge can be dealt with in four ways –
What strategy to follow will depend upon the particular circumstance the manager is into. In
general, though, managers who intervene early and set norms; teams and managers who try to
engage everyone on the team; and teams that can see challenges as stemming from culture, not
personality, succeed in solving culture-based problems with good humor and creativity. They are
the likeliest to harvest the benefits inherent in multicultural teams.
Sometimes, the level of social distance plays a major role in the success of global teams. The
level of social distance means the degree of emotional connection among team members. When
people on a team all work in the same place, the level of social distance is usually low. Even if
they come from different backgrounds, people can interact formally and informally, align, and
build trust. They arrive at a common understanding of what certain behaviors mean, and they
feel close and congenial, which fosters good teamwork. Coworkers who are geographically
separated, however, can’t easily connect and align, so they experience high levels of social
distance and struggle to develop effective interactions. Mitigating social distance therefore
becomes the primary management challenge for the global team leader.
The fundamental requirement to get such teams on right track is to generate awareness and
sensitivity in the team to other cultures and people. The key is to boost their cultural
“awareness”- in other words to teach them the skills that transcend mere etiquette. These days
the companies are running cultural sensitivity training programs that focus primarily on ensuring
internal harmony within the international workforce.
The team leader should always encourage open dialogue so that the people from diverse culture
can feel comfortable working within the team.

A Winning Concept: The Benefits of Organizational Communication
“One of the greatest responsibilities of an organization’s leadership is to communicate with unwavering clarity the values on which the organization has been built (Vern Dosch, 2016).”
Introduction
Communication is a fundamental and essential function of civilization from the cradle to the grave. It is the backbone of the universe’s existence as we know it, creating and cultivating a type of social bondage that occurs between human beings and living things alike. In the business world, it is the absolute nucleus that determines how effectively we will communicate, react, interact, and share information with each other. In fact, if we are to consider organizational communication as a field in its own right, it would be apt to label it as a subcategory of a much larger and broader discipline of communication studies. As a subcategory, organizational communication’s composition comprises analysis, consideration, and criticism of the role of communication in organizational contexts.
Defined, organizational communication is, “the way in which an organization gives the public and its employee’s information about its aims and what it is doing (Cambridge, n.d.).” Organizational communication is also a component of effective management in a workplace environment. The main functions are not only to inform but persuade and promote both support and goodwill. Communication is the lifeline of an organization, always providing the necessary information to ensure effective performance in all business activities. Communication in an organization is fundamental to running a successful business. It also requires active participation that encompasses the Board of Trustees and or Directors, Chief Executive Officer and or President, C-Suite leaders, management, and the teams that report to the managers. While management is the means to achieving organizational goals, efficiency and effectiveness of management depends on effective communication. Every minute aspect of management hinges upon successful communication. Without effective communication, an organization cannot feasibly create and convey its credo: its vision and m ...

Intercultural training focuses on improving interactions between cultural groups and developing skills to recognize and address cultural differences. While diversity training aims to reduce discrimination, intercultural training teaches employees to leverage differences to improve organizational performance. The document argues that intercultural training, which results in changed behaviors, is needed for organizations to create environments where differences are respected and used to foster innovation. It provides examples of how understanding cultural differences can improve team collaboration and competitive advantage.
This document discusses the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. It states that managing diversity requires understanding those different from yourself. High performing organizations recognize diversity's importance to success by valuing all employees' contributions and using a multicultural approach. This includes avoiding ideas of sameness, identifying unique contributions, and providing supportive environments for all. Embracing diversity leads to greater creativity and problem solving. Organizations must commit to diversity through flexible management that appreciates all individuals.
The document discusses the importance of communication in business. It states that without communication between departments, a company would be inefficient as no one would know what was happening.

Report to CEO
Diversity is a common feature that exists in most organizations. It is a characteristic that increases its prevalence as a company grows regarding hiring more members of its human resource workforce. Diversity also increases when a firm grows out of its current geographical scope. It is an unavoidable occurrence in every growing organization and therefore, it is crucial for managers and CEO's to understand the importance of learning how to control the effects of diversity in their companies. When diversity is not managed adequately, it can cause adverse effects which may lead to the failure of an institution. This report offers insight on cultural diversity which one of the most prevalent types of diversity in firms. It also illustrates a plan on how to control the adverse effects of cultural diversity.
Cultural diversity in the workplace
Culture refers to a person's way of life. It encompasses an individual's heritage based on social patterns, acceptable behavior, beliefs, values, customs, norms, and attitude. All people have different cultures, and therefore cultural diversity is a standard feature. Even though people may come from the same home town, their culture may be different depending on how they were raised (Lambert, 2016). This phenomenon explains the existence of differences in personal cultures. This situation causes challenging situations in the workplace since the human resource managers of growing companies hire individuals from different regions. Cultural background is rarely considered while hiring employees into a company. The recruitment team in a firm considers the skills that a person has and the services that the worker can offer to the organization (Lambert, 2016). Therefore, the employees in most companies are from very diverse cultures. In some cases, this situation leads to conflicts between the workers.
Importance of diversity planning
Diversity planning refers to organizing ways in which people from different cultural backgrounds in the organization can unite and work to achieve a common organizational goal. It is crucial for a company to develop diversity planning to ensure that their workers are all committed to achieving common objectives of their firm. Diversity planning allows employees to share ideas that are instrumental in enhancing business processes in an organization (Price, & Nelson, 2018). Employees grow significantly when they are exposed to a variety of cultures. Therefore, diversity planning enables employees to gain much personal social growth effectively. Some of the workers can discover untapped talents and make use of .

Introduction
Effective communication is important for the success of any business. According to statistical reports from Forbes, the corporate with the best communication tools achieve their objectives easily as compared to businesses with poor communication. Consequently, the aim of this presentation is to help business managers to understand the usage of effective communication tools to improve communication to all the stakeholders in the organizations. Although the basic responsibility of a business manager is to motivate the employees to give out their potential, this cannot be achieved without effective communication. It is therefore the responsibility of a business manager to identify the communication needs and provide effective strategies aimed at improving communication between the stakeholders. Therefore, business managers should understand that communication is significant since it helps in delegation of the basic management functions.
Communication Problems in My Company
There are several communication problems that have been identified in my company. Failure of delegation of duties is one of the main communication barriers for any business. Every employee expects the management to provide sufficient information for the kind of business that they are supposed to work. Lack of a common code of conduct also prevents the organization from having a common language that can be used to delegate duti.

In management of multi-generational teams, the form of responses received by the managers depends on the kind of generation being asked. That is, generation Y normally prefer using text messages to communicate while the baby boomers and the older Gen Xers normally prefer using emails or phone calls. Moreover, the communication style used depend of the environmental context.

This document discusses the importance and process of communication in business. It makes three key points:
1. Communication is essential for businesses to function effectively as it allows for coordination between departments, clarity on goals and tasks, and ultimately higher profits. A lack of communication would severely hamper a business.
2. The objectives of business communication include informing employees, persuading stakeholders, educating staff, training workers, motivating teams, integrating divisions, building relationships, and entertaining to relieve stress.
3. The basic process of human communication involves a sender encoding a message and transmitting it through a channel to a receiver who decodes and responds. Feedback from the receiver back to the sender can clarify or confirm the message was

MANAGERS CROSS-CULTURAL EFFECTIVENESS !3
cultural communication skills are essentials to achieving effective and productive international negotiations. In past years, negotiations involving managers from different backgrounds have not yielded much result because of the tone of conversation, facial expressions, and other culture-specific nonverbal cues. Therefore, managers should be equipped with appropriate knowledge and competence to manage complex business situations arising from cultural differences.

On the basis of global cultures, would people from the United States.pdfshalini178068
On the basis of global cultures, would people from the United States, Japan, or Chile be more
comfortable with a group or team-based approach to work?
Solution
“There’s a typical default way that we all act in our respective cultures. It is the way that we give
feedback, greet people, praise or don’t praise, so all sorts of things would be different across
cultures.
Multicultural teams offer a number of advantages to international firms, including deep
knowledge of different product markets, culturally sensitive customer service, and 24-hour work
rotations. But those advantages may be outweighed by problems stemming from cultural
differences, which can seriously impair the effectiveness of a team or even bring it to a
stalemate.
Creating successful work groups is hard enough wherein the global work force is geographically
dispersed. When team members come from different countries and functional backgrounds and
are working in different locations, communication can rapidly deteriorate, misunderstanding can
ensue, and cooperation can degenerate into distrust.
This multicultural challenge can be dealt with in four ways –
What strategy to follow will depend upon the particular circumstance the manager is into. In
general, though, managers who intervene early and set norms; teams and managers who try to
engage everyone on the team; and teams that can see challenges as stemming from culture, not
personality, succeed in solving culture-based problems with good humor and creativity. They are
the likeliest to harvest the benefits inherent in multicultural teams.
Sometimes, the level of social distance plays a major role in the success of global teams. The
level of social distance means the degree of emotional connection among team members. When
people on a team all work in the same place, the level of social distance is usually low. Even if
they come from different backgrounds, people can interact formally and informally, align, and
build trust. They arrive at a common understanding of what certain behaviors mean, and they
feel close and congenial, which fosters good teamwork. Coworkers who are geographically
separated, however, can’t easily connect and align, so they experience high levels of social
distance and struggle to develop effective interactions. Mitigating social distance therefore
becomes the primary management challenge for the global team leader.
The fundamental requirement to get such teams on right track is to generate awareness and
sensitivity in the team to other cultures and people. The key is to boost their cultural
“awareness”- in other words to teach them the skills that transcend mere etiquette. These days
the companies are running cultural sensitivity training programs that focus primarily on ensuring
internal harmony within the international workforce.
The team leader should always encourage open dialogue so that the people from diverse culture
can feel comfortable working within the team.

A Winning Concept: The Benefits of Organizational Communication
“One of the greatest responsibilities of an organization’s leadership is to communicate with unwavering clarity the values on which the organization has been built (Vern Dosch, 2016).”
Introduction
Communication is a fundamental and essential function of civilization from the cradle to the grave. It is the backbone of the universe’s existence as we know it, creating and cultivating a type of social bondage that occurs between human beings and living things alike. In the business world, it is the absolute nucleus that determines how effectively we will communicate, react, interact, and share information with each other. In fact, if we are to consider organizational communication as a field in its own right, it would be apt to label it as a subcategory of a much larger and broader discipline of communication studies. As a subcategory, organizational communication’s composition comprises analysis, consideration, and criticism of the role of communication in organizational contexts.
Defined, organizational communication is, “the way in which an organization gives the public and its employee’s information about its aims and what it is doing (Cambridge, n.d.).” Organizational communication is also a component of effective management in a workplace environment. The main functions are not only to inform but persuade and promote both support and goodwill. Communication is the lifeline of an organization, always providing the necessary information to ensure effective performance in all business activities. Communication in an organization is fundamental to running a successful business. It also requires active participation that encompasses the Board of Trustees and or Directors, Chief Executive Officer and or President, C-Suite leaders, management, and the teams that report to the managers. While management is the means to achieving organizational goals, efficiency and effectiveness of management depends on effective communication. Every minute aspect of management hinges upon successful communication. Without effective communication, an organization cannot feasibly create and convey its credo: its vision and m ...

If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies.

The significance of intercultural communication for businesses and the obstacles that managers should overcome in achieving effective intercultural communication
1. The Significance of Intercultural Communication for Businesses and the Obstacles that
Managers should Overcome in Achieving Effective Intercultural Communication
This journal discuss about the significance of intercultural communication for business
and the obstacles that managers should overcome in achieving effective intercultural
communication. It is general knowledge that human beings cannot live without communication
and due to the influence of globalization; communication is no longer confined solely to a
community and nationwide level but also on an international scale. Thus, intercultural
communication is now more important than it ever was for enterprises. Yet the effective
intercultural communication needed for the aforementioned success is difficult to achieve. This
paper discussed about the obstacles that a manager should overcome in order to achieve
intercultural communication.
There are three effective intercultural communication for business was discussed. Which
is business expansion, elimination of conflicts and positive work atmosphere. In business
expansion, communication is crucial to all employees of the company including both the
manager and subordinates. Generally, the ability to communicate effectively is undeniably a
challenge in the global environment. Secondly, intercultural communication is particularly
important to avoid conflict caused by a diverse cultural working environment. Moreover,
managers can adopt the usage of cultural-related motivating languages to encourage employees
in order to build a positive working atmosphere.
Other than that, there are five obstacles that manager should overcome in achieving
intercultural communication also discussed in this journal. Which are values and beliefs,
2. apprehension, ignorance, ethnocentrism and stereotyping. Employees from different cultural
backgrounds who work together, the more different opinions there will be in the workplace.
Eventually, conflict could arise from employees who insist on their own views and do not accept
others’ opinions, which is to the detriment of the company. Thus, skills for effective intercultural
communication are needed by managers to communicate with and ensure the employees from
different cultural background scan understand each other and share a common vision and goals.
Finally, managers who possess negative bias fail to truly understand their employees from
different cultural backgrounds. Intercultural communication is exceedingly important for
businesses; however, it is not an easy matter to be achieved, particularly by management level
employees. Therefore, managers should be able to identify the obstacles that stand in the way of
achieving effective intercultural communication and put more effort into overcoming these
obstacles.
