Cross Cultural Communication - Text and video

Read the text and watch the video below:

Cross-cultural communication is communication between people from different cultures. The most obvious difference between cultures is language so it is important to make sure everyone is speaking the same language and has really understood what has been communicated to avoid any information getting lost in translation.

When communicating with people from other cultures, the communication is also influenced by cultural values and attitudes and it can be rather difficult to communicate effectively if there is a big difference between the two cultures. Sometimes something goes wrong and the message may not be received exactly the way the sender intended. The reason is that communication goes through a filter before being received and if there is too much "cultural noise", misunderstanding may occur and the sender risks offending, confusing or sending a misconstrued message which could lead to broken relations or a business deal going sour.

Effective communication involves minimising potential misunderstanding and overcoming any barriers to communication at each stage in the communication process. In business, cross-cultural communication plays a critical role in successfully carrying out business with partners in other areas of the world and when it comes to advertising, it is equally important to be an adept cross-cultural communicator.

From "Communication, Culture and Work", Gitte Jæger Nielsen, Systime 2019.

Formålet med forløbet er at belyse, hvilken rolle kultur kan spille for virksomheder, der ønsker at ekspandere til udlandet. I får dermed et godt kendskab til  diverse aspekter af begrebet kultur, som er vigtige at have en forståelse for, hvis man ønsker at ekspandere til udlandet, som det er tilfældet med Hallernes Smørrebrød.
Når man arbejder tværkulturelt som Hallernes Smørrebrød, er der en række kulturelle faktorer, som udgør fundamentet for at sikre en effektiv kommunikation,  et godt samarbejde og for at undgå  kulturelt betingede misforståelser. I sidste ende skulle I gerne blive i stand til at udnytte de mange muligheder, der også ligger i kulturelle forskelle. De kulturelle teorier bruges især, når man åbner en restaurant eller en  anden form for virksomhed på et fremmed marked.
