Paper Work
Kat and I were working for more than 4 hours on our term paper for Desarollo Regional 2 with the temporary title „Intercultural Communication in Business“. Unfortunately, it’s meant to be 8-10 pages in total with a maximum of 21000 words – I believe this limitation will restrict the entire issue which is quite important for management. We’ve managed to work out our structure and nearly finished the first part about the definition of culture and the preception of culture leading towards communicative issues. In the end, we plan to roughly compare the approach found in the Cultural Dimensions of Hofstede and Trompenaar with the cross-culture approach by Richard D. Lewis found in his book „When Cultures Collide: Managing Across Cultures„. I plan to publish our German original and our spanish translation of the work once we’re done.
That sounds real interesting… I’ve worked a lot on cross – cultural conflict, communication, and management. Publish english version as well please… Unfortunatly… My Spanish isn’t that good even though i was in Spain for so long.
I believe we’ll be done within 1-2 weeks from now on, so I hope you have the time to wait, Leo ;) For publishing it online, we’ll go for german and english, while spanish remains as our optional publishing method for blogs.
