He also points out that perceptions of communication styles are always relative to your own cultural reference point.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe notion of direct and indirect communication styles is based on Hall\u2019s (1981) research, who you read about in Chapter 18.2. As Dr. Garson (2007) explains, higher context cultures tend to be more indirect, and lower context cultures tend to be more explicit, in both verbal and nonverbal messages.  Learning to flex your communication style in different cultural contexts can help you frame messages more appropriately, and avoid misunderstandings. Dr. Garson reminds that no one culture is purely high or low context, and there is a great deal of individual style variation within cultures as well.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"plainlinks floatleft\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420px\" height=\"236px\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0W9iLrfyq20?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p>\n<b>Reference<\/b><br \/>\nKyra Garson. 2007.

She explains how Confucian philosophy emphasizes correctness in social relationships, justice, sincerity, loyalty, and respect for elders.This is why you need to build relationships to be successful in business in China. She describes the concept of \u2018guanxi\u2019 as the importance of relationship in how things get done, which means a long introduction phase is needed to build trust. Once mutual trust is established, Chinese people are very loyal. Hoeks also explains three keys to maintaining relationships \u2013 reciprocal favour, harmony and face \u2013 illustrated with stories of her experiences of living and working in China. She says her own most important learning was to take a long term view, and to be patient, open, and a good listener.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"plainlinks floatleft\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420px\" height=\"236px\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VMwjscSCcf0?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nRead: Michelle LeBaron.

Beyond Intractability: Communication Tool for Understanding Cultural Differences.<br \/>\nThis <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.beyondintractability.org\/essay\/communication-tools\">article<\/a> discusses how we need self-knowledge, self-awareness, and cultural fluency to be able to perceive our own cultural lenses, which shape how we understand and communicate with others. It also provides a description of high and low context communication styles, and individualistic and communitarian views of self in relation to others, illustrated with real-world examples.

Bourrelle: How Culture Drives Behaviours [12:07 min.] Bourrelle explains how our home culture learning shapes our perceptions, expectations and behaviour in social situations.  To communicate effectively with different others, we need to change our \u2018cultural glasses.\u2019 We can do this by developing awareness of our own cultural lens, and increasing our understanding of other cultural perspectives. Bourrelle illustrates his message with stories of his experiences of social interactions between people from various cultures in his international study and work experiences.  His main point is that if you can change your cultural lens, you can change your perceptions, and the way you relate to cultural differences. This is the key to benefiting from diversity.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"plainlinks floatleft\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420px\" height=\"236px\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l-Yy6poJ2zs?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \nNewPP limit report\nCPU time usage: 0.051 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.061 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 430\/1000000\nPreprocessor generated node count: 1288\/1000000\nPost\u2010expand include size: 10830\/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 6297\/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 7\/40\nExpensive parser function count: 0\/100\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- Saved in parser cache with key wikiedu-mw_:pcache:idhash:179906-0!*!*!*!*!2!* and timestamp 20170807092541 and revision id 1019629\n -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"visualClear\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<ul class=\"pager\">\n<li class=\"previous\">\n            <a href=\"\/ccom102\/learning-pathways\/developing-business-presentations\/overcoming-communication-barriers\">\u2190 Previous<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<li class=\"next\">\n            <a href=\"\/ccom102\/learning-pathways\/developing-business-presentations\/government-and-business-intercultural-communication-resources\">Next \u2192<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<br \/>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reference Kyra Garson. 2007.
