Customer Reviews

Insightful and to the point

This book has given me a lot of useful concepts. Milton Bennett writes in his two articles in a refreshing no-nonsense style and is generally easy to understand. I am currently using his models in my professional work as a cross cultural trainer. The other articles are providing different aspects of intercultural communication where the strongest contributions in my view are the articles by Edward T Hall and Janett Bennett.

Basic Concepts of Intercultural Communication

This is a must read book, especially for those dealing with intercultural communication, both in the areas of foreign language learning and business management. I read some of the articles twice even three times and found the them very inspiring for my teachings as they provided a strong foundation on cross cultural understanding; moreover they have helped me a lot in highlighting the sensitive matters in intercultural communication to my class. I assume anyone dealing with people from different cultural background need to know the arts of intercultural communication, as misunderstanding might result in losing the business. I am quite positive that this book will also be of great help for managers, business people who have to deal with their foreign partners.
