LA1 Communications
“We have a failure to communicate!” is a famous line from by Paul Newman in the movie Cool Hand Luke. Yet so true! We carry within our minds various perceptions that filter and distort communications. So for this LA1, keep in mind our earlier chapter on perception and personality (week 2). Think about your current or former employer and analyze their communications. Recalling the communications process from our reading this week (channels, barriers, direction of communications, etc.), tell us if you think their communication is effective and prove your point of view to us. Also, did generational or cultural differences impact the effectiveness of communications? What other concepts can you apply? Get into some depth analyzing communications in your organization.
For both of our LA’s this week you will particularly need to use:
· Geert Hofstede’s renowned typology on national cultural values http://geert-hofstede.com/national-culture.html . This site also provides a country-comparison page to compare other cultures against our US culture.
· Beyond Intractability’s extensive article database on cross-cultural communications and behaviors. Cross-cultural communications http://www.beyondintractability.org/essay/cross-cultural-communication and Communication Tools for Understanding Cultural Differences http://www.beyondintractability.org/essay/communication-tools
Also use our text and at least two other weekly content materials to explain or defend your points. Your initial response should be at least 350 words in length to earn any points. Cite all reference sources using APA format. Use in-text parenthetical citations, for example (Organizational Behavior, 2014, ch. #, p. #), within your response content, and full citations referenced at end (see Content/Using APA
