章节摘录

　　Check Meanings： When communicating across cultures never assume the other party has un-derstood. Be an active listener. Summaries what has been said in order to verify it. This is a veryeffective way of ensuring accurate cross cultural communication has taken place.　　Avoid Slang： Even the most well educated foreigner will not have a complete knowledge ofslang, idioms and sayings. The danger is that the words will be understood but the meaningmissed.　　Watch the Humour： In many cultures business is taken very seriously. Professionalism andprotocol are constantly observed. Many cultures will not appreciate the use of humour and jokes inthe business context. When using humour think whether it will be understood in the other culture.For example, British sarcasm usually has a negative effect abroad.　　Maintain Etiquette： Many cultures have certain etiquette when communicating. It is alwaysa good idea to undertake some cross cultural awareness training or at least do some research on thetarget culture.　　Cross cultural communication is about dealing with people from other cultures in a way thatminimizes misunderstandings and maximizes your potential to create strong cross cultural relation-ships. The above tips should be seen as a starting point to greater cross cultural awareness.
