In today's global economy, where people are
the most important source of competitive advantage, success
depends on the ability to perform in international and intercultural
environments.
Intercultural Communication encourages to communicate
with others from different cultural backgrounds.Being aware
of cultural differences is a first step to developing positive
business relations and to avoid frustration when dealing with
business people from other cultures.
Intercultural Communication helps people to
overcome potentially embarrassing problems, resulting from
different conventions of behaviour, politeness and gestures.
It may help business people to understand power differences
in other cultures. The way business decisions are made is also
strongly influenced by culture; Intercultural Communication
can enhance our understanding of individualism and collectivism
and will contribute to the prevention of stereotyped images
of other people.
