Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide 14.1 PART THREE CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION Understanding Cross-cultural Management

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide 14.2 CHAPTER 14 BARRIERS TO INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION Concept 14.1: Barriers in cross-cultural management communication Understanding Cross-cultural Management

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide 14.3 Barriers in cross-cultural management communication Non-verbal behaviour can play a crucial role in interaction All cultures use forms of body language to communicate, but the meaning of these forms is subject to different interpretations according to the cultural background of the interpreter

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide 14.4 Non-verbal signals used in a certain context may not only differ but also influence other consequent non-verbal signals. Question of the intention: did the sender (if from another culture) intentionally choose to transmit a non-verbal message with an exact purpose or was he pretending to do so? When responding to the signal, the receiver may need to re-adjust his communicative goal, vary the non-verbal messages so that the desired goal is eventually reached. Barriers in cross-cultural management communication (Continued)

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide 14.5 Those communicating across cultures must therefore be careful not to assume that certain gestures they perceive do not have the same meaning as in their own culture. Barriers in cross-cultural management communication (Continued)

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide 14.6 Figure 14.1 ‘I’ve had enough’ Barriers in cross-cultural management communication (Continued)

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide 14.7 Non-verbal communication barriers in business Use of body language, e.g. – use of arms by the Dutch, compared to – use of the whole upper part of body by the French –The Dutch may perceive French as very emotional and excited since the Dutch only use gestures made by the French when they feel deeply emotional

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide 14.8 Non-verbal communication barriers in business (Continued) Silence –In western cultures, silence marks pauses in a discourse. –In oriental cultures silences are an integral part of communication. Silences can indicate: Respect, of agreement or disagreement, Modesty (avoid improper use of words)

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide 14.9 Non-verbal communication barriers in business (Continued) The way feelings are expressed can vary so much between cultures and result can be negative feelings towards another The creation of such prejudices is not the differences in themselves but the way in which the differences are interpreted

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide Assumptions and culture Assumptions may have: 1) a cognitive dimension, related to presumptions as to how people think that things work, 2) an affective dimension, related to the presumed likings of people and 3) a directive dimension related to the presumed choices of people.

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide Assumptions and culture (Continued) Assumptions can be time-related: Is time a scarce good (economy of time)? Are tasks performed simultaneously or one after the other (monochronic versus polychronic)? Is life seen as a continuity or as cyclic episodes? Is the orientation in time towards the past, the present or the future?

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide Assumptions and culture (Continued) Assumptions can be space-related relating to territories: orientation may be: ‘in group’: the group space includes families, nations, and cultures ‘out-group’: based on the assumption that there is a unity of mankind beyond the borders of in-group spaces in-group orientation does not completely exclude out-group orientation (e.g. in Nordic European cultures)

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide Assumptions and culture (Continued) Assumptions can be identity-related: related to identity of self and others What is seen to be the ideal conduct in certain social contexts: – Main socio-demographic categories (age, sex, social class) –Particular roles in society (such as the perfect politician, or successful businessman)

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide Perceptions and stereotypes Table 14.1 Who is saying what about whom? Source: Gruère and Morel (1991) WHO IS SAYING WHAT ABOUT WHOM? WHO / ABOUT WHOM?WHAT? Germans British Americans Spaniards Dutch French They’re pretentious They’re arrogant They’re chauvinist They’re hypocritical They’ve got no sense of humour They’re individualistic

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide Perceptions and stereotypes Every culture sees its own system of values in a positive light If confronted with negative stereotypes of themselves by other nationalities: – will not recognize themselves – will react strongly since they feel under attack – defend their own personal identity – see their national identity more in terms of ‘them’ than ‘us’

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide Identity and communication National identity characterizes a nationality: sets the limits of an intercultural exchange. Perception of the other always is based on one’s own culture > ethnocentrism Ethnocentrism is inherent to any membership of a socio-cultural, ethnic or national group. –It is the intrinsic mechanism separating ‘mine’ from ‘yours’ –Our perceptions are made through a barrier which is unconsciously made up of our own values Ethnocentrism responsible for prejudices and stereotypes

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide Stereotype building Starting-point for building a cultural stereotype is the norms and values of the culture concerned A stereotype consists of images created in our minds with regard to a group or groups of people These images are over-generalizations made from selective (self-) perceptions and information corresponding with our beliefs A stereotype confirms our prejudices rather than reflecting accurate observations of reality The development of prejudices is supported or provoked by our cultural environment

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide How to deal with stereotypes? S uppress them, fight them or ignore them? Better not to fight against them since they are the first stage in the process whereby the existence of another culture is acknowledged Stereotypes are necessary for establishing one’s own cultural identity. If a cultural group cannot compare itself to other groups then it cannot become aware of what it is

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide How to deal with stereotypes? (Continued) If people could place another culture in its own context and avoid judging it according to their own ‘system’, stereotypes would eventually disappear Note the dynamic nature of interaction: –characteristics of speakers PLUS –structure of the situation and the context, as well as time and space (see chapter 13) The variable nature of the interaction makes every communicative situation unique and therefore unpredictable

Browaeys and Price, Understanding Cross-cultural Management, 1 st Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2009 Slide Conclusion The cultures of the interlocutors filters information and interprets it according to their own references Stereotypes form the most important barrier to intercultural communication
