BUSINESS CULTURE
IN USA
Speaking of Business, US is one of the country
in which business is highly in demand. Foreign
people are very competitive enough when it
comes in business and with that let's discuss the
various modes of communication that newly
hired employee should remember.
IN BUSINESS
CULTURE
IN RELATIONSHIPS
Americans can come across as very friendly
and personable people in business.

IN THEIR CONSIDERATIONS
Americans tend to work longer and harder that
other Westerners, though not always by choice.

IN COMMUNICATION IN VERBAL
Americans are very direct communicators. They tend
to convey their entire message verbally, paying
attention to body language - people are expected to
"get to the point", this does not mean courtesy in
disregarded in communication, but it does mean that
Americans may sometimes miss nuances.
 IN BUSINESS
CULTURE
IN COMMUNICATION IN NON-VERBAL
Eye contact should maintained directly. It
demonstrate warmth, openness, honestly and
approachability. If you make an eye contact with
stranger in passing on street, hallway or at coffee
shop etc. give a small smile or nod to acknowledge
them, continuing on your way without doing so
means you were simple staring or unfriendly, and is
considered slightly rude.

IN MEETINGS
Americans often like to cultivate a friendly
atmosphere that facilitates openness e.g. people may
inroduce humour to the coversation.
 C O N C L U S I O N
With all of these various modes of communication
mentioned, it is important for us to practice intercultural
communication because it is our training to breaking down
cultural barriers and building awareness of cultural norms,
as well enhancing self awareness and communication skills.

On the other hand, you must have adaptation skills,

attitude of modesty and respect, understanding of the
concept of culture, knowledge of the host country and
culture, relationship building, self-knowledge and
organizational skills.
WITH THESE YOU WILL BECOME ONE WITH HIGH
INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE.
