Communication in multicultural world
• The Multicultural Communication concentration focuses on
the dynamics of communication across cultures. It explores
not only what happens when people of two different
cultures meet, but also what happens when people from a
variety of cultures and ethnicities come together in one
organization, community or country.
• This concentration will be of interest to those who work

with international and multiethnic corporations and to
public service personnel serving individuals from a variety
of backgrounds and cultural traditions.

Global Communications become progressively
worldwide in the manner companies work together.
An ever-increasing number of organizations from
created economies are hoping to grow their tasks
in emerging markets. The organizations that will
flourish anyway are the ones whose workers
improve the effectiveness of global world
communications and joint effort with customers,
associates, providers, and accomplices (Bailey,
2012).

• Communication is the trading of importance.
Communication incorporates any conduct that
another person sees and translates. Global
Communication incorporates sending both verbal
messages (words) and nonverbal messages
(manner of speaking, outward appearance,
conduct, and physical setting). It incorporates
deliberately sent messages just as messages that
the sender is absolutely unconscious of sending.
Global Communication, in this manner, includes a
complex, multi-layered, powerful procedure
through which we trade.

Impacts of Global World
Communications
The failure to speak with customers is one of the
greatest hindrances to selling globally.
Interpretation, be that as it may, isn’t sufficient.
Fundamental traditions, quirks, and motions are
likewise significant. For instance, if a sales approach
a gathering with information of a customer’s social
foundation, at that point his words, non-verbal
communication, and activities would all be able to
be adjusted to all the more likely suit those of the
customers. This may prompt being better loved by
the customer, eventually expanding the salesman’s
chance to settle the negotiations (Brown, 2017).

Idea of a global world
• Globalization is an established part of the modern world, so
most of us do not realize the benefits it brings to our
everyday lives—such as easy access to a variety of different
cuisines or new technologies developed by countries half a
world away.
• Even though globalization makes our lives better, it does
bring some challenges as companies start to grow and
expand across borders. Cultural differences around the
world are undeniable. These differences create hurdles for
businesses entering foreign markets and necessitate
changes to their daily business operations, whether it’s
employing workers in a new region or communicating the
value of their product to a new audience.

Benefits of
1. Access to New Cultures
Globalization makes it easier than ever to access
foreign culture, including food, movies, music,
and art. This free flow of people, goods, art, and
information is the reason you can have Thai food
delivered to your apartment as you listen to
your favorite UK-based artist or stream a
Bollywood movie.

2. The Spread of Technology and Innovation
Many countries around the world remain
constantly connected, so knowledge and
technological advances travel quickly. Because
knowledge also transfers so fast, this means that
scientific advances made in Asia can be at work
in the United States in a matter of days.

3. Lower Costs for Products
Globalization allows companies to find lower-
cost ways to produce their products. It also
increases global competition, which drives
prices down and creates a larger variety of
choices for consumers. Lowered costs help
people in both developing and already-
developed countries live better on less money.

4. Higher Standards of Living Across the Globe
Developing nations experience an improved
standard of living—thanks to
globalization. According to the World Bank, extreme
poverty decreased by 35% since 1990. Further, the
target of the first Millennium Development Goal
was to cut the 1990 poverty rate in half by 2015.
This was achieved five years ahead of schedule, in
2010. Across the globe, nearly 1.1 billion people
have moved out of extreme poverty since that time.

5. Access to New Markets
Businesses gain a great deal from globalization,
including new customers and diverse revenue
streams. Companies interested in these benefits
look for flexible and innovative ways to grow their
business overseas. International Professional
Employer Organizations (PEOs) make it easier than
ever to employ workers in other countries quickly
and compliantly. This means that, for many
companies, there is no longer the need to establish
a foreign entity to expand overseas.

6. Access to New Talent
In addition to new markets, globalization allows
companies to find new, specialized talent that is not
available in their current market. For example,
globalization gives companies the opportunity to
explore tech talent in booming markets such as
Berlin or Stockholm, rather than Silicon Valley.
Again, International PEO allows companies to
compliantly employ workers overseas, without
having to establish a legal entity, making global
hiring easier than ever.

Challenges…
• 4 Types of Communication Challenges in
Multicultural...
• Direct versus indirect communication.

• Different attitudes toward hierarchy and
authority.
• Conflicting norms for decision making.

• Direct versus Indirect Communication
Communication style in Western cultures are direct and
the meaning is seemingly obvious. Other cultures tend to
be more discrete in the way they present their message.
As a result, communication between a Westerner and a
non-Westerner can result in confusion within the
workplace. This can occur during face-to-face interactions
and when communication is virtual. Needless to say, how
employees of diverse cultures respond to one another is
a major determining factor towards the cohesiveness of
an organization.

• For example, in a Western culture, the question
might be, “Is option A or option B more
effective?” Whereas in a non-Western culture,
employees may have to imply or suggest a
particular option without stating it directly.
Oftentimes, in a Western culture, during a board
meeting, when someone nods, we tend to think
they agree with the statement. However, in other
cultures, a nod doesn’t necessarily mean mutual
agreement, rather, just an acknowledgement.

6/22/2021

• Trouble with Accents and Fluency
A more obvious challenge within an organizationally
diverse workplace is the language barrier among
employees, including accents and fluency. Although
English is the standard language internationally for
business, many non-English speakers can feel
unnoticed and unappreciated in the workplace
because they have difficulty conveying what they
want to say in their non-native language.

Employees who may be subject matter experts,
may take a backseat to contributing to the team
because of their inability to get a message across in
their second language. This can sometimes cause
frustration and interpersonal conflict. They may
become less engaged and motivated as a team
player, and become an impediment to
the collaborative learning process as a whole. An
organization can be negatively affected and fail to
see an increase in their return on investment.

• Different Attitudes toward Hierarchy and
Authority
In any organization, teamwork is essential to
success and profitability. However, in some cultures,
employees are treated different based on their rank
within the organization. Diversity training in the
workplace should account for negotiation tactics
among different cultures. For example,
multicultural employees have different ways of
presenting an idea to the manager or CEO.
6/22/2021

In some organizations, employees must present
to higher-level team members and up the
corporate ladder before reaching the executive
level. Other organizations have relatively flat
hierarchical structures where employees and
leaders work as a unified team. A lack of cultural
awareness can result in a disconnected
workforce and leave some employees feeling
left out and unrecognized.

• Conflicting Norms for Decision Making
It isn’t surprising that individual cultures have their
own way of reaching an agreement and coming to
an executive decision. Cultures differ on how long
the decision making process takes, what steps must
be in place beforehand and how much effort should
be put in. Unlike other cultures that tend to
withhold information until they have performed
analyses and comparisons before reaching a
decision, Americans tend to be very quick at
deciding, according to the Harvard Business

Impact of globalization on organizations
in multi cultural communication
In a global environment the ability to communicate effectively can be a
challenge. Even when both parties speak the same language there can
still be misunderstandings due to ethic and cultural differences. Over
the last decade, there have been countless examples from the
business sector that demonstrate how poor communication can lead
to poor organizational performance. Understanding the impact of
globalization on cross-culture communication is imperative for
organizations seeking to create a competitive advantage in the global
market. Recent economic challenges further highlight the need for
organizations to develop the internal communication capacity
necessary to control and monitor external threats. As society becomes
more globally connected the ability to communicate across cultural
boundaries has gained increasing prominence.

• Global businesses must understand how to communicate
with employees and customers from different cultures in
order to fulfill the organization’s mission and build value for
stakeholders. The use of technology has had a profound
impact on how businesses communicate globally and
market their products and services. However, with the
advancements in technology organizations must still be
cognoscente of the culture nuisances that can potentially
present obstacles in trying to increase profits and market
share. According to Genevieve Hilton, “cultural proficiency
doesn't mean memorizing every cultural nuance of every
market. It's knowing when to listen, when to ask for help,

Impact of globalization on multi
cultural communication
• The purpose of communication is to transfer
ideas and knowledge from one entity to the
other. The first step in communication is input;
someone must say something that is received
by someone else. The communication loop is
successful when the receiver demonstrates
that he or she understands what was being
communicated.

• From an organizational perspective there are
many barriers than can impede the flow of
communication. These barriers include
culture, technology, language, workforce, and
environment. For the purpose of this model
culture refers to the traditions and customs
that are prevalent in the country where each
company is located.

These traditions and customs influence policies
and procedures implemented by businesses.
Technology is simply the use of mediums such as
email, Internet, text messaging, and cell phones
to communicate.

When a company does not have experience
using a particular technological medium to
communicate it may rely on older methods that
the other company views as inadequate.
Language is what is spoken in the country where
the company is located. If the languages of the
two companies are different, then one company
must learn the other’s language or a new
language must be created.

Workforce refers to the internal structure of the
company, including employees, managers, and
organizational leaders. Environment refers to
the external forces that affect the company. For
example, the economy can have an adverse
impact on an organization and present an
obstacle to cross-culture communication.

6/22/2021

The challenge for organizations that must
communicate cross-culturally is to ensure that
their message is understood the way that it was
intended. When communication barriers are not
removed it is easy to make assumptions about
what is being communicated.

• when these barriers are eliminated companies
are able to experience innovation, reduced
conflict, and better dissemination of
information. J. Ku-Hyun (personal

communication is critical.” Without
communication organizations will cease to be.

Understanding culture for global
communication : etic and emic
approaches
The emic approach to studying human culture is
one in which the members of the culture being
studied are the main source of information used
to understand the culture. ... Conversely,
the etic approach employs existing theories and
perspectives that originated from outside
the culture being studied

Etic Approach to Culture:
Etic approach takes a hand
length approach than the emic approach allows
context and population to be examined across
the board, allowing the development of cross-
cultural concepts. ... Contrary to the emic
approach, Etic research takes cultural data and
attempts to accept it so that normal general
models can be accepted.

6/22/2021

• Etic approach takes a hand length approach than the emic approach
allows context and population to be examined across the board,
allowing the development of cross-cultural concepts. Researchers
generally use current principles that can be applied equally to other
cultures, re-implementing them for a new setting or population,
with the belief that theories are universal. Contrary to the emic
approach, Etic research takes cultural data and attempts to accept it
so that normal general models can be accepted.
• The inverse of the emic approach, the etic way to deal with
contemplating human culture utilizes existing hypotheses and
points of view that began from outside the culture being
considered. As it were, it utilizes assumptions and speculations
about a culture by and large so as to consider explicit cultures.

6/22/2021

An emic perspective on culture is eventually a point of view
center around the inborn social qualifications that are
significant to the individuals from a given society, frequently
viewed as an ‘insider’s’ viewpoint. While this point of view
comes from the idea of drenching in a particular culture, the
emic member isn’t generally an individual from that culture or
society. Concentrates done from an emic viewpoint regularly
incorporate more definite and socially rich information than
concentrates done from an etics perspective. Since
the eyewitness places themselves inside the culture of
expected examination, they can go further top to bottom on
the subtleties of practices and convictions of a general public
that may somehow have been disregarded.

6/22/2021
study only
Notwithstanding, the emic point of view has its
defeats. Concentrates done from an emic point of
view can make inclination with respect to the
member, particularly whenever said an individual is
an individual from the culture they are considering,
along these lines neglecting to remember how their
practices are seen by others and perhaps making
significant information be forgotten. The emic point
of view effectively provides a clear top to bottom
reports about how insiders of a culture understand
their customs.

• The analytical nature of the etic approach
works well for short notes of special behavior
within a wide range of settings. Its goal is to
focus on mediocre data which can be
compared to other cultural settings.
• With this approach, a gender role study will
more likely apply the cultural data observed
for masculine and feminine preconceived
concepts.

6/22/2021

Emic Approach to Culture:
The emic approach is accomplished by the
intervention of inner, or native, approach. This is a
more objective approach in which researchers try
to make an understanding of the local customs and
practices by observing or interviewing members of
that culture. This down-up approach requires
analysts to adopt a completely neutral perspective,
there is no expectation of what they will observe or
what this means. It tries to see the cultural work
system as a whole work.

6/22/2021
study only
The emic approach is a popular method for new
topics, because researchers focus on the actual
figures of local participants and the topics or
patterns it develops, and not on the basis of
long-lasting principles. Researchers employing
this method will take a deeper study of one or
more settings.

6/22/2021

In this methodology, scientists can study how
gender roles develop within a particular culture,
but what they know about sex roles in other
societies, without applying it. The result can be
a rich and diverse collection of personal case
study data that focuses on how insiders (or
native residents) see the differences in gender
roles.

6/22/2021

The emic way to deal with examining human
culture is one in which the individuals from the
culture being considered are the principle
wellspring of information used to understand the
culture. All the more just expressed, it’s the point at
which the words and convictions of the culture’s
individuals become the dominant focal point. As
opposed to perusing other researchers’ records of
the culture, the analyst will watch or even meeting
the individuals from the culture so as to understand
why they live and accept as they do.

• Adding to this, analysts utilizing the emic
approach try to begin with very nearly a clear
slate. At the end of the day, they endeavor to
secure their assumptions about what culture
should resemble and basically gain from the
culture they are watching.
• For straightforwardness in recollecting that, I like
to connect the ‘m’ in ’emic’ to the possibility that
the genuine individuals from a culture are the
most significant wellspring of information when
concentrating that culture.

The impact of technology is all over the place. Our lives are
emphatically influenced by progressing mechanical
advancements. Think about the effect of cell phones, the web
and internet-based life on our day by day life, work, and
society. Advancements, for example, robotization, man-made
brainpower, the web of things, and nano-technology are
progressively changing the world we live and work in. This

all the more rising technologies will change the manner in
which we convey and it will be dependent upon us to

methods for conveying and our associations with others.
The media scene is always showing signs of change. At
the societal dimension, there are developing worries
about new types of imbalance, breaking down,

• Communication supporting technology:
• Not all technologies that are created will be fruitful. Much relies
upon communication. It is critical that originators of innovation
understand clients and their utilization circumstances. Clients only
here and there receive an innovation as seems to be; they regularly
proper it to make it good with their desires and encounters.
Convenience and client experience assume a significant job in the
accomplishment of technologies. Communication experts may fill in
as client advocates in mechanical structure procedures or assume
the liability for different sorts of client support. They may likewise
concentrate on different partners in mechanical plan forms, for
example by promoting trend-setting innovations, influencing
speculators or other basic partners, or encouraging open discussion
about the attractive quality of new technologies. In this

• Today, if people see you online, then it means that you
are fine. But they will contact you and think about your
well being if they can not find you online for a few
days, they will message or call. It is enough that you
mean online that you are okay so they do not have to
communicate. Someone once said that there are 1000
friends on the internet, but still, no one is with him to

provide different types of fruits in different colors. So
the Internet is like a garden and there are social media,

Each tree has its own nature, environment, and fruits.
• While an email tree is used mostly for business
purposes, a social media tree is for personal

change the world.
4. Diversity of communication materials: Communicating and
interpreting communication in other languages was not so easy in the
past. Today, a single behavior is capable of manipulating thousands of
other streams. As the video communication is being converted into
text, the articles are being converted into quotes, the quotes are being
converted into jokes, the jokes are being converted into text, the

Society: Technology strongly influences our lives both
positively and negatively. Anything can be viral, and I
saw that most of it were negative. People start reacting
to information without finding the source.
• Without thinking that it is really good for society and
their own family. But if we just think and write how it
should be, how it benefits itself, it will be helpful for
everyone. In reality, honesty and honesty in

learn and manage that data and information in the
brain, it will be happy. Due to external orders, the
mood is changing and people are becoming habitual,

Cross-Cultural Communication:
• Cross-cultural communication occurs when a cultured person sends
messages to a person of another culture. A cross-cultural
misunderstanding occurs when a person of another culture does
not receive the desired message from the sender. The greater the
difference between the sender and receiver’s cultures, the higher
the chance for cross-cultural miscommunication.
• Due to the rise of global business, technology, and the Internet,
cross-cultural communication has become strategically important
for companies. Understanding cross-cultural communication is
important for any company, who has a diverse workforce
or plans on the operation of global business. In this type of

different communication styles, desires for the conduct, and
methodologies. Absolutely outsiders must acclimate to the
summed up norms of the American working environment, however
somewhat, work environments need to change in accordance with
