Lesson 5
Science explains that each person is genetically unique. except for identical twins, each
person has a unique genetic composition. This uniqueness becomes even more
heightened because of individual experiences. Humans are formed by forces other than
genetics.
Family background, Religious Affiliations, Educational Achievements, Socio-cultural
forces, economic conditions, emotional states, and other factors shape human identities.
Because of this, no two people can ever be exactly the same.

High-context cultures (Mediterranean, Slav, Central European, Latin American, African, Arab,
Asian, American-Indian) leave much of the message unspecified, to be understood through
context, nonverbal cues, and between-the-lines interpretation of what is actually said.
In sequential cultures (like North American, English, German, Swedish, and Dutch),
businesspeople give full attention to one agenda item after another.
In synchronic cultures (including South America, southern Europe and Asia) the flow of
time is viewed as a sort of circle, with the past, present, and future all interrelated. This
viewpoint influences how organizations in those cultures approach deadlines, strategic thinking,
investments, developing talent from within, and the concept of "long-term" planning.
In international business practices, reason and emotion both play a role. Which of these
dominates depends upon whether we are affective (readily showing emotions) or
emotionally neutral in our approach. Members of neutral cultures do not telegraph their feelings,
but keep them carefully controlled and subdued. In cultures with high affect, people show their
feelings plainly by laughing, smiling, grimacing, scowling, and sometimes crying, shouting, or
walking out of the room.
Reason and emotion are part of all human communication. When expressing ourselves,
we look to others for confirmation of our ideas and feelings. If our approach is highly emotional,
we are seeking a direct emotional response: "I feel the same way." If our approach is highly
neutral, we want an indirect response: "I agree with your thoughts on this."

Communication Strategies
Communication strategies are the blueprints for how this information will be exchanged.
• Verbal communication strategies can be broken down into the two categories of
written and oral communication. Written strategies consist of avenues such as e-mail,
text, and chat. Examples that fall into the oral category are phone calls, video chats, and
face-to-face conversation.
Lesson 9
Physical media
With physical media we mean channels where the person who is talking can be seen
and heard by the audience. The whole point here is to be able to not only hear the
messages but also to see the body language and feel the climate in the room.
This does not need to be two-way channels. In certain situations the receiver expect
physical communication. This is the case especially when dealing with high concern
messages, e.g. organizational change or down sizing. If a message is perceived as
important to the receiver they expect to hear it live from their manager.
• Large meetings, town hall meetings - This channel works very well when you need to get
across strategic and important messages to a large group of people at the same time
• Department meetings (weekly meetings) - Weekly meetings are also used to follow up
on information from large meetings, management team meetings etc from a “what’s-in-it-
for-us-perspective”.
• Up close and personal (exclusive meetings) - This is a form of meetings where, often, a
senior manager meets with a “random” selection of employees to discuss and answer
questions.
• Viral communication or word of mouth - Or viral marketing as it is also called works
external as well as internal and refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social
networks to produce increases in awareness or knowledge through self-replicating viral
processes. It can be word-of-mouth delivered

• E-mail - It is suitable mainly for up-to-date and “simple” messages and where
there is no risk of misunderstanding, E-mail is an important supplement to weekly
meetings and the Intranet.
• Weekly letters or newsletters - Managers that have large groups of employees and
who has difficulties in meeting all of them often choose to publish a personally weekly
letter.
• Billboards - But the good thing with the billboard is that you can use billboards to inform
people who does not have computers and/or access to the Intranet or to reach people
that work part time and does not attend weekly meetings.
• Intranet - The Intranet is of course one of the most used types of communication
medium and a very important communication channel and work tool for you as a
manager, but it is also your job to help your employees prioritize and pick out the
information on the Intranet.
• SMS (Short Message Service) - Or text messaging to the mobile phone is one of the
new types of communication medium and not a very widely used channel but where it is
used it is proven very effective.

Push or Pull
Push channels are channels where the sender are pushing the message to the receiver.
Meaning it is up to the sender to control the communication.
• Meetings
• Telephone
Pull channels on the other hand is when the receiver is pulling the message from the
sender. It is up to the receiver when he or she wants to take in the message.
• Intranet
• Billboards
• New letters and letters (if not sent out)
• Magazines (if not sent out)
• Social media
The Ambition Stairway is a useful tool for you to use when deciding what channels to
use for your level of ambition. Witch gives you control of the different types of communication
medium. Also, it is important to realize that just publishing something on the Intranet will not get
employees motivated and involved.

5. Job Interview
All a job interview does is give employers the chance to meet you and see if they like
you enough to give you a job.
Follow these 5 easy steps and you will stand the best chance of getting a job:
• One-to-one interview – The most common type… You are interviewed by just one
person (usually the boss!) and it’s a simple question and answer session.
• Panel interview – A bit scarier… This is where you’re interviewed by more than one
person at a time – expect two or more interviewers to be in the room with you.
It may sound silly but you must plan your interview outfit. You don’t necessarily
have to wear a suit, depending on what job you’re going for, but you should follow a few
simple dress code rules
YOU MUST PRACTICE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS! OK, that was a bit dramatic, but this
is where many people mess up. By just spending a little bit of time looking at common interview
questions and answers you can really improve your chances of getting the job
At the end of almost every interview, the interviewer will say to you ‘do you have any
questions for me?’ If you shrug your shoulders and get tongue-tied then you can look
uninterested. Go in with a few interview questions of your own prepared, instead
A letter of application, also known as a cover letter, is a document sent with your
resume to provide additional information about your skills and experience.
The letter of application is intended to provide detailed information on why you are a qualified
candidate for the job.
A resume is a one- or two-page formal document that job hopefuls submit to hiring
managers and employment recruiters as a means of itemizing their work experience,
educational background, and special skills. Successful resumes entice potential employers to
invite applicants to interview for the position.

Often only 100 to 300 words, the abstract generally provides a broad overview and is
never more than a page. It describes the essence, the main theme of the paper. It includes the
research question posed, its significance, the methodology, and the main results or findings.
Footnotes or cited works are never listed in an abstract. Remember to take great care in
composing the abstract. It's the first part of the paper the instructor reads.
A good introduction states the main research problem and thesis argument. Never
provide a lengthy justification for your topic before it has been explicitly stated.
• Limitations of Study
Indicate as soon as possible what you intend to do, and what you are not going to
attempt. You may limit the scope of your paper by any number of factors, for example, time,
personnel, gender, age, geographic location, nationality, and so on.
• Literature Review
The research process uncovers what other writers have written about your topic.
Your education paper should include a discussion or review of what is known about the
subject and how that knowledge was acquired. Once you provide the general and
specific context of the existing knowledge, then you yourself can build on others'
research.
It's where the author supports the thesis and builds the argument. It contains most of the
citations and analysis. This section should focus on a rational development of the thesis with
clear reasoning and solid argumentation at all points. A clear focus, avoiding meaningless
digressions, provides the essential unity that characterizes a strong education paper.

• Appendices
Education research papers often contain one or more appendices. An appendix
contains material that is appropriate for enlarging the reader's understanding, but that
does not fit very well into the main body of the paper. Such material might include tables,
charts, summaries, questionnaires, interview questions, lengthy statistics, maps,
pictures, photographs, lists of terms, glossaries, survey instruments, letters, copies of
historical documents, and many other types of supplementary material.
