Intercultural Communication In The Global Work Place

Abstract

Imagination of one earth with borderless
countries remains a utopian dream. However
globalization has left a huge impact across the
globe with people crossing boundaries and
working in totally unfamiliar cultural terrains.
Organizations with their business spreading
across the world have welcomed liberalization
and globalization with open arms. Each
employee walking into an organization brings a
new culture creating a multicultural workforce
that has to gel together in order to work in
harmony. Few cul tures due to their
demographic closeness readily accept each
other while few other under go frictions. Under
this scenario business communication basically
tends to be intercultural communication that
must be effective in order for the business to
flourish.
