...communication increases drastically and in recent years many researchers have emphasised the importance of awareness of different cultural norms as globalisation has brought about a growing trend to communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds. This paper argues for a revaluation of how we approach the topic of business communication and for greater emphasis on successful business communication as the goal of better understanding in global business setting. The ideas which are presented in this paper have been derived over a period of two years of our own research and through the reading of research literature. The research to be discussed in the paper is connected to one of the major research lines at Széchenyi István University, titled The dialogue of professional, organisational and national cultures. The purpose of the present paper is to present the results of a survey conducted with professionals who communicate with foreign business partners. The data were gathered by means of a questionnaire. At the root of the argument is the hypothesis that communication rules and norms between people with different cultural background have altered and different cultures have differing values, perceptions and philosophies. The paper will conclude that individuals working in international business setting are affected by more than one culture at a time − even if by varying amounts – and special attention should be devoted...

...increasing need to incorporate multicultural education systems.This act will go a long way in enhancing intercultural maturity and social justice in schools and the society as a whole ( King & Baxter, 2005). Concerns of diversity issues such as discrimination, rights for the minority, racism and ethnicity cannot be overemphasized (King & Baxter, 2005. This paper, therefore, undertakes this discussion and perhaps bring forward possible ways of filling research gaps as identified in module four. Research precipitates the need to discover new knowledge or perhaps advance existing knowledge (Tierney, 2007). Filling the research gaps identified in module four will not only lead to the discovery of new knowledge on culture and diversity in education but also will front ways of solving the prevailing problem. The prevalent problem is manifest in the negativity of difference to the education sector. The research gaps need to studied, as it is only when that we will know more about intercultural maturity in the education sector as module four project was not extensive. Most of the research gaps previously identified revolve around the aspects of cultural diversity. To solve these research problems, a survey needs to be done as this is the only way we will know. How individual variables influence the cultural diversity and how these variables can be adjusted to promote human relations and multicultural education. After a literature review and extensive research...

...individuals make decisions to spend their available resources. It includes what they buy, how they buy it, why and when they buy it and how often they used it. One of the ways to influence this behaviour in a fast fashion retail setting is to use visual merchandising strategies which trigger a number of stimuli influencing the consumers’ perception. The purpose of this research is to establish to what extent this visual merchandising strategies influencing consumers with a different cultural background in a highly competitive multicultural retail environment with an emphasis on the flagship store of Armani Exchange Regent Street, London. The author argues that the available models of consumer behaviour does not provide sufficient flexibility due to their linear nature. Therefore, they are unsuitable to address the needs of a contemporary retailer operating in a multicultural environment. The researcher build his hypothesis by examining the available literature in the area of retail marketing. Consequently, the hypothesis is tested by analysing a mixed sources of primary and secondary data. The conclusion of the author is that due to the absence of adequate consumer behaviour model the researched organisation is missing on a considerable amount of sales. Furthermore, the author argues that the contemporary society will diversify even further which means that there is imminent necessity of a new or enhanced model of consumer behaviour which will allow more flexibility when designing...

...Qatar University College of Business and economics DO CULTURAL DIFFERENCES INFLUENCE HRM PRACTICES? A working research paper in Department of Graduate Studies By Sara La - 20020000 July 28, 2013 Abstract This research attempts to examine if the cultural differences would have an impact on the Human Resources Management (HRM) practices. Furthermore, such study would provide guidance and assistance to the HR professionals and for the multicultural institutions as well. With the continuity of the world, the effectiveness of globalization surges and the world becomes much more smaller than before. This globalization accelerates having a cultural engagement. There are some uncommon things in previous years that emerge because of globalization such as: the multicultural organization, branches operates in far countries from the original, etc. Approaching these two phenomena needs good strategies since with the variation of culture, all practices may vary along with the HRM practices. Several literatures are reviewed. All of them reached the same result that foster the claim of: diverse culture will have a huge impact on the HRM practices. This paper applied the Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions theory for exploring cultural dissimilarity across countries. Results reached reinforce the claim: human resources professionals changes their practices with the culture differences in the countries they want to become better at.

...Diversity in Organisational Theory and Practice 1. Introduction Increasing globalization requires more interaction among people from diverse cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds than ever before. People no longer live and work in an insular marketplace; they are now part of a worldwide economy with competition coming from nearly every continent. For this reason, organizations need diversity to become more creative and open to change. Therefore maximizing and capitalizing on workplace diversity has become an important issue for management today. Since managing diversity remains a significant organizational challenge, managers must learn the managerial skills needed in a multicultural work environment. Supervisors and managers must be prepared to teach themselves and others within their organizations to value multicultural differences in both associates and customers so that everyone is treated with dignity. Diversity issues are now considered important and are projected to become even more important in the future due to increasing differences in the population of many countries. Companies need to focus on diversity and look for ways to become totally inclusive organizations because diversity has the potential of yielding greater productivity and competitive advantages. Managing and valuing diversity is a key component of effective people management, which can improve workplace productivity. Unmanaged diversity in the workplace might become an obstacle for achieving organizational goals...

...Conflict Between the Power of Possession and Self Constructed Identity Noah Richler analysis of Canadian literature allowed him to develop his theory that Canadian literature is built on the myth of disappointment. Richler believes that “Canadians depend on the centre but expect little from it” (Richler 281). With Canada being a country built on the hard work from labour workers who had to overcome difficult adversities. With Canada being a multicultural nation with a high number of immigrants coming to Canada to contribute to the image of a country made in the image of others. In Michael Ondaatje’s novel In the Skin of a Lion, Richler’s criteria of disappointment is evident with the recurring references to the struggle of being a labour worker with some having to deal with the language barrier. Their struggles in dealing with the higher authority force these workers to realize that they are on their own. In the end as long as the higher authority continues to create this conflict then workers like Patrick Lewis have to rely on this homegrown identity that workers like him have worked hard to create. Ondaatje uses many historical references which is a key criterion to Richler’s theory because these events illustrate how the higher power can continually let down those that sacrifice everything to survive while they enjoy the benefits. Commissioner Harris is seen as the operators with a presentable image while the people who are responsibility for his success are seen as animals...
