You may wish to Ask, what really intercultural business communication?

It may be between employees of different backgrounds, collaboration between business owners across various countries, or even marketing a product or service to a demographic different to your organization’s current geographical location. In today’s World, Globalization has made it possible for companies to reach their audiences using 21st century web tools. It has also enabled them to build increasingly multicultural teams as well. This in itself has brought to the front burner an array of opportunities for business growth globally – as long as the said organisations are able to effectively navigate cultural nuances. Unfortunately, many professionals and organizations are not experientially equipped to take on the needs of linguistically or culturally diverse teams and clients. This can result in workplace miscommunications, ineffective marketing strategies, or even failed expansions to foreign territories. Being able to understand the differences of values, perceptions, and behaviours across cultures requires specialist knowledge, exceptional research and analytic capabilities, plus highly advanced interpersonal skills.
