Internationalization and technological development in recent decades have drastically changed the business environment. Organizations have expanded around the world, and there is a growing recognition that they are culturally diverse by default – monoculturalism has gone. Working with people from different cultures has become the norm in all sectors. Colleagues, partners and customers come from a wide variety of different cultural backgrounds. The cultural context for business is extremely complex.
Most of the problems that arise are a consequence of the way we interpret the world around us. Most of us see our surroundings and the environments in which we live and work from our own individual cultural perspective. Our cultural perspective determines our understanding of normal, appropriate and right and wrong. By instinct and evolution, we are suspicious of anything that is other – that doesn’t match our own cultural experiences. And that is how ethnocentrism, stereotypes, biases and prejudice, and cultural misunderstandings are born.
To be successful in business, you need clear and precise communication. In achieving that kind of communication within your business, with your employees and partners, training your cultural sensitivity and awareness of differences becomes essential.
