Why is releasing the right response more important than sending right message in intercultural communication
Answers
1. Intercultural communication is the foundation for international trade activities. The right kind of response will generate more leads and make our product popular in foreign markets.
2. Wrong response leads to miscommunication and there are chances that receiver might interpret our message in a wrong way.
3. Mistakes in response leads to insults and breaks trust in intercultural relationships.
Cultural differences are prevalent in people who belong to different cultures. Their habitual, social and personal preferences differ.
Thus, intercultural relations are sensitive to right response as they are tentative about how their life style and thought process goes down with someone from another culture.
It is therefore more important to be polite yet sensitive to how the person feels and reacts.
It is essential that the person from another culture is made to feel comfortable and at ease rather than just sending a message the right message across.
