Communicating Across Cultures, Part 4: Applying What We Know About Culture

Episode Topic: Applying What We Know About Culture

Every culture we are a part of, whether national, trans-national or, perhaps organizational, has values and beliefs that drive expectations and set boundaries for its members. Researchers in this area have identified a small range of important skills essential to success in a global business environment. These require discipline and persistence but, once mastered, will provide both professional and personal rewards to those who pursue them.

Featured Speakers:

• Debra Charlesworth, VP of Corporate Communications, BioMarin Pharmaceuticals
• James S. O’Rourke, American rhetorician and Professor of Management at the University of Notre Dame. 
• Amanda McKendree, Arthur F. and Mary J. O'Neil Director of the Fanning Center for Business Communication, Associate Teaching Professor, University of Notre Dame.
