collaboration as a major part of workplace dynamics. Modern entrepreneurs need to
understand the strengths and limitations of different communications media, and how
to use each medium to maximum effect.

Answer 24

Virtual Interactions

Question 25

The need for cultural awareness is a major impact of globalization on the required skillset of effective communicators. Modern entrepreneurs and employees need the ability to catch subtle nuances of people’s manner of speech when communicating across cultures. Even when two people are speaking the same language, cultural differences can affect vocabulary, colloquial expressions, voice tone, and taboo topics (Ingram, 2009).

Answer 25

Cultural Awareness in Speech

Question 26

Awareness of cultural differences in body language can be just as important as the nuances of speech. Students should understand acceptable speaking distances, conflict styles, eye contact, and posture in different cultures, accepting that the physical expressions of their own culture are not universally accepted. These differences should be addressed to avoid difficulties or miscommunication.

Answer 26

Cultural Awareness in Body Language

Question 27

The advent of global collaboration introduces another new dynamic to communication skills— the need to communicate and share information with people across several time zones. When people collaborate with others on the other side of the globe, their counterparts are usually at home asleep while they themselves are at work. Today’s communication skills development programs should address the nuances of overcoming this challenge by teaching people to understand the information needs of their colleagues, according to the communication styles of different countries or cultures. Being able to effectively share information between shifts can make or break the productivity of a geographically dispersed team, making this an important issue for many companies (Ingram, 2009).
