Following is a list of materials I have used for
the "Intercultural Communications" course. These materials (whether
on the net or in book form) are protected by copyright law, so please use
them fairly.
Another very good source is Prof. Ursula Liebsch's "Personal Development and Intercultural Communication" modules. ITIM Culture and Management Consultants offers several pages on the intercultural. Click on content for more. A very detailed article on British Cultural Studies, Norma Schulman's "Conditions of their Own Making: An Intellectual History of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at the University of Birmingham," is available in a back issue of Canadian Journal of Communications. Another two articles which offer suggestions for including cultural studies in language education are Rob van Kranenburg's "Cultural and Cultural Studies in/and/through Language Education" and Luc Top's "Language, Identity and Barbarism: The Nationalism-Globalism Debate as a Theme for Language Education." A real find is "Geert Hofstede's Work-related Values," a section of Gemmy Allen's hyperlink book, Supervision. (Warning: not all of the links are functioning.) Luke Shave alerted me to "Business.com: The Business Search Engine". Search for "Intercultural Communication." The Harvard Management Update (April 1999) offered the following
link:
Stephen Taylor's "Business Etiquette around the World" is an interesting albeit brief introduction to international "do's and don'ts"; Taylor includes a Hofstede analysis of each country covered. Check out Grovewell for all kinds of advice on intercultural matters. I found a series of articles from 1994 interesting and useful: "Global Patterns." "Expats from Abroad in the U.S.A" was originally printed elsewhere but is now available through Grovewell. I have also depended on a series of articles published by Harvard Business
School. These are not available through the Web or in HTW's Library.
I include them nonetheless in the bibliography
for further reference. Others are excerpted, though, in Harvard Business
Schools's Working Knowledge.
