Abstract

Written in a conversational style, this book introduces students to the foundations of intercultural communication, a vibrant discipline within the field. Authors Stella Ting-Toomey and Leeva Chung take a multicontextual, inclusive approach that balances international and intercultural communication issues against U.S. domestic diversity issues. In addition to emphasizing a value-oriented perspective on intercultural encounters, the text contains a robust ethical chapter, complete with specific guidelines that will help students become ethical intercultural communicators. By integrating current empirical research with lively intercultural examples, the authors ask thought-provoking questions and pose ethical dilemmas for students to ponder. The text offers a sprawling treatment of such topics as ethnic and cultural identity change, culture shock and intercultural adjustment, romantic relationships and raising bicultural children, global identity challenges, and decision-making choices in intercultural ethics.

Abstract

L'ouvrage propose trois axes de réflexion sur le concept de transfert. Dans la première partie du volume, Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink évoque les changements contemporains qui augmentent les communications interculturelles. Walter Moser examine l'histoire des concepts et explore la possibilité de faire du « transfert culturel » un instrument qui permettrait de rendre compte de la grande mobilité culturelle que nous observons de nos jours à l'échelle mondiale. Pierre Lévy donne à cette exploration conceptuelle la plus grande amplitude en la déplaçant vers le domaine général du transfert des informations. La deuxième partie, « Le transfert et les savoirs », occupe le gros de l'ouvrage. Daniel Simeoni y explore la traductologie en documentant le parallélisme des concepts de traduction et de transfert. Dans la psychanalyse, tant comme site du savoir que comme pratique, le transfert a une longue histoire conceptuelle; Ellen Corin ouvre pourtant le dialogue à d'autres savoirs et disciplines et évoque la possibilité de déplacer latéralement les acquis de sa réflexion vers le domaine de l'anthropologie. En matière de droit criminel, Alvaro Pires explore des questions théoriques et méthodologiques du transfert, étayant ses propos d'exemples. Nicolas Goyer fait la distinction entre le « transfert généalogique » et le « transfert migratoire » pour illustrer la nécessité de contester la priorité qu'on a longtemps accordée au transfert intergénérationnel. La troisième partie explore l'imbrication des transferts et des médias. Timothy Murray explore le new media art, où se croisent le politique, le médiaticotechnologique, le psychanalytique et l'interculturel. Wolfgang Ernst s'interroge sur le « transfert » au confluent de l'ethnologie, l'ethnographie, la muséologie, l'histoire et l'analyse des cultures, en regard de la théorie et de l'histoire des médias.

Abstract

L’auteure de cet ouvrage nous emmène au cœur des entreprises, dans cet univers où règne un anglais que tous n’entendent pas de manière identique, tant ils l’investissent des caractéristiques propres à leurs langues maternelles ou à leurs contextes culturels respectifs. En s’appuyant sur des situations concrètes — courriels qui jalonnent le quotidien des acteurs, échanges siège-filiales ou communication de l’entreprise —, l’auteure montre que la maîtrise de la langue commune (cet anglais qui sert de lingua franca) n’est que marginalement responsable des dérives de la communication interculturelle : celles-ci tiennent à la tendance naturelle de chacun des interlocuteurs à « entendre » les mots ou les situations vécues dans sa langue maternelle et son propre contexte culturel. L’originalité de l’ouvrage tient au fait que l’auteure ne se contente pas de mettre en lumière l’origine de ces dysfonctionnements, elle donne aussi les clés d’écoute et de compréhension dont pourront tirer profit tous ceux qui ont à cœur de réussir leur communication interculturelle.

Abstract

International public organizations, as the European Commission and the European Parliament, are under almost permanent political pressure to improve efficiency. While teamwork is considered to be a possible remedy, so far little research on effectiveness of multinational teams was undertaken in international public organizations. The purpose of this book is to identify the distinctive characteristics that influence multinational team performance in a public management context. Based on a qualitative research approach a complexity model of multinational team performance was developed. This model can be used as a checklist to identify possible problems in multinational teams. Additionally, managerial implications of how to deal with the inherent complexity of multinational teams are given.

Abstract

"The book appears pertinent in the context of the emerging potpourri of cultures today.... It makes for useful reading reminding you as it does of the seriousness of the incessant cultural and ethnic changes taking place all around." --Business India "This eclectic collection probably represents the best examples of research currently available and is a fascinating, pioneering exploration of an important field of study." --Choice Exploring cultural identity and its impact on marketing, Marketing in a Multicultural World breaks new ground by synthesizing research, analyzing trends, assessing data, and defining and describing culture and cultural identity in its various manifestations. Chapters discuss perspectives on ethnicity, nationalism, and cultural identity; globalization as a social and economic phenomenon; and strategies used by ethnic groups in Europe and North America to establish their place in the dominant cultures and economic systems. Adding to the wealth of information presented are case studies on the Italian Canadian home, current Romanian consumption patterns, Turkish Germans' niche in Berlin's fast-food market, cross-border shopping in Northern Ireland, marketing and consumption of traditional ethnic crafts in India and Mexico, and the marketing of cultural products in museum retail shops. Global trends in emerging ethnicity--and also in global marketing--make this an especially timely book. Marketing in a Multicultural World is the perfect text for scholars, students, and professionals in marketing and race and ethnic studies.
