Activity 1
As we’ve learned from our readings this week, culture plays a significant role in communication. In other words, how we communicate depends on our own culture and the culture of the person with whom we are communicating. Share your observations about your results for the INCA survey. Were they what you expected? Identify your biggest challenge in dealing with cross-cultural communication. Then develop content-rich responses to the posts of at least two of your colleagues.
Activity 2
Select a country with a name starting with the first letter of your first or last name. Try not to duplicate countries. When submitting your response in the Subject line, type the country name and nothing more, for example: Canada.
Describe the communication practices in that county and demonstrate what you have learned about organizational communication styles for the country you selected. Over the remainder of the week, read and thoughtfully comment on two of your classmates’ postings.
