Cross-Cultural Communication

The globalization of communication has brought with it opportunities to conduct business with people from all over the world. Inevitably, this means interactions and relationships between people who are culturally different. This is known as cross-cultural communication.

A simple definition of a culture is a group of people who share a common set of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, and who communicate through common language or symbols.

The culture in which people are socialized influences the manner in which they work, socialize, and interact with others.

If you want to understand and communicate effectively with people of different cultures, it's imperative that you understand how culture affects communication.
