From myths to time and punctuality, more is different than one would think. A few myths and their realities: "What works here ought to work in Mexico. " This myth is far from the

Therefore, Mexican workers tend to be very dedicated to their jobs. Mexicans do not hesitate to go for the extra miles to work longer hours to make additional money to support their family. One major cultural clash between Anglo Americans and Mexicans are concept of timeliness. Punctuality is not big concern for Mexicans. American culture featured promptness and timeliness; the Mexican culture could care less. Mexicans believe their supervisors know everything and should always show respect to authority and not ever questioning their supervisors and elderly ever. It is considered disrespectful to question supervisors and elderly. Therefore, in this case study, it is possible that Jose Alvarado could be a younger Latino manager. So, that could explain why he is having trouble and difficulty to supervise his Latino workers. Also, keeping a harmony relationship with their own fellows are also very important to them. Therefore, it will be a challenge task for Alvarado to criticize his fellow Latino workers. This could possibly be the reason why Alvarado is dissatisfied with his new title. In the workplace, the cultural differences in terms of personal sensitivity are the source of many, if not most, of the conflicts between Mexicans and Americans. Americans, for the most part, are individualistic, competitive, and comfortable working on their own. Americans think highly of personal initiative and are self-starters. When

Canada is known to be a country of diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. It is a country that consists of many individuals with various cultures and ethnic backgrounds. To live in Canada, it would be inevitably for one to be working with others that are of a different ethnic/ cultural background in the near future or even currently. Communicating with people or groups of people that group up with different norms, values and beliefs can cause miscommunication. Regardless of whether their communication be verbal, non-verbal or written, subtle differences for each member can create misconceptions and failure in collaborating to meeting the groups end goal. Therefore, this essay is dedicated to outlining practices that are able to assist teams

Communication is an important part and concern in many organizations. With many organizations having such a diverse workforce communicating has an impact on how well employees, patient and family members interact together. Many communication issues arise due to the fact that there are many employees from different cultures and different genders.

Royal Bank of Canada would be a great example to show how the cross-cultural communication could impact the industry. First of all, we could see a fact that more and more banking branch has diversified staffs from different countries; those employees could speak English as well as at least speaking a second language. Some of the branch employee could speak more than three languages. This is because that RBC is trying to eliminate the language barrier between their employees and customers. In my experience, in Richmond, nearly every branch has someone who could speak neither Cantonese nor Mandarin. Those branches are very conscience for people who can’t speak English very well, and also it could give the customer better service. It’s not just only benefit for customer, the bank also get a lot of benefits from this. They could sell their own

When dealing with businesses there are always going to be cultural barriers and obstacles. This is because no two countries are the same and each person is different.

Multi-culturalism pervades Canada as a nation, a predominately immigrant driven and sustained country that seems at times to indicate overtly and in part covert inferences from those who slip through the cycle of immigration without the opportunity of engaging and by extension impacting the conversation on intercultural dialogue in Canada. One can cite that majority of Canada’s population is comprised of diverse ethnic and cultural background of immigrants yet the term “visible minority” has been harnessed to dichotomize its immigrant community, bit of oxymoron possibly. Luzviminda, an extremely creative expression of dialogue between Canada and the various ethnicities that seek to improve or enrich there lives and those of there love ones. Its epitomizes another avenue of communicative osmosis of cultures that’s enhances and penetrates the social, political and cultural platform from which they initiate and exchange dialogue. I cannot negate the that fact, while Canada frames the space for such migration to be possible for immigrant population, it goes without say that the benefit is dual in nature. Canada’s socio- economic paradigm is by virtue very much at a perpetual advantage as a result of its expeditious growth from the immigrant community. Luzvinminda, stands as a representation of this intercultural dialogue. Dr. Patrick Alcedo, Associate Professor of the Department of Dance at York University states that, “ A portmanteau , ‘Luzvinminda “ represents the three

A large number of multinational companies have expanded their businesses through both developed and developing countries. Some of the business invest directly and others are partnership arrangements and strategic alliances with domestic operations. Their studies show that independent entrepreneurs and small businesses have started investing and competing in the world marketplace. Thus, to acquire corporations’ objectives, there is exceedingly a necessity for the development of strategic framework for cross-cultural management and communication in the current competitive global market. Chaney & Martin (2011) also noted that, cultural awareness and cultural differences are strongly important to the multinational corporations’ success. A good understanding of the culture where business is implemented can make international managers productive and effective.
