While men need to be attentive, there can be no communication unless both are listening. If anyone is focused on something else it is important to have their attention before starting your conversation.

Comment on Employer asked me to hack into staff members email accounts? by Steve

I was the person above who originally asked the question above.

I eventually decided to resign from the organization. I have a very low tolerance for poor behavior and felt ashamed to work there.

They did ask me to hack into a staff members Yahoo account which I promptly refused. Life there went bad to worse, including bullying and harassment. According to the Government they had not paid me the medical benefits I was entitled to. They also took away maternity pay of a member of staff 1 month prior to their legal obligation had finished. They didn’t pay staff their correct salary when they departed and lied on Government returns giving reason why staff had left.

The organization not only continued to nickel and dime staff but also an outsourcing company that was working for me.

Now I am unemployed looking for work. Through my entire employment history this is the only bad experience I have had, so I guess I have been lucky. I can see the many benefits I bought to the organization so hopefully another employer will be pleased with these and I can find a job in a more professional and happy environment.

Comment on Got Communication? by Diush

I don’t know much about Canadian companies, but I know about communication. Just think about a chair, the chair you have in your mind is different from the one I think of.

Regarding business you have to take into account the differences in languages, customs, means (and all the things you mentioned). Language because you might find some constrains in French or German while trying to pass the message which was thought in English, the same joke translated will not have the same effect in another language.

Intercultural communication has to be sensitive to customs because what might be acceptable in some countries, in others is offensive. We all produce messages and at the same time we are react on them. Japanese people tend to be cautious before signing a contract, you have to build relationships.

And that’s all about, relationships. You have to use the right means (paper, e-mail, etc) and provide information in the most clear way, while facilitating feedback to complete the communication process.

I ignore this is your homework, but I suggest you to read book in intercultural communication, they’re great!, and if you get the chance, travel around and will get a better idea on how this works.

To be honest, this question is difficult to solve it thorugh here (it hinders the process) Have fun!

Communication?
Explain how communication customs, cultures, or different environments may change the way business is conducted. Would electronic communication tools help or hinder this process?

(Note – use the example of a Canadian business trying to do business with a foreign business to help answer this question)

I vote for integrity and honor. Communication is important, but if you can't trust your employer to tell the truth, it is pointless. I would just like to work for an honest employer who could remember to pay me for the hours I work and not think it is funny to cheat the employees.

We can’t possibly know the answer to that – it all depends upon the two of you, and why you split in the first place.
