This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende Sammelband ist dem Thema der Interkulturalität gewidmet und enthält Beiträge in englischer, deutscher und russischer Sprache. Vor dem Hintergrund der Globalisierung kommt dem Thema ‚Interkulturelle Kommunikation‘ eine zentrale Bedeutung zu: Durch Phänomene wie die globale Mobilität und Arbeitsteilung, zunehmende Reisefreiheit sowie die Entwicklung neuer Kommunikationstechnologien kommt es zu immer mehr Kontakten zwischen Personen unterschiedlicher Kulturen. Auswirkungen hat das auch auf den Arbeitsmarkt, der von Führungskräften zunehmend interkulturelle Kompetenzen und Kommunikationsfähigkeit fordert. Aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven diskutieren die Autoren dieses Bandes die Bedeutung von interkultureller Kommunikation für ihre jeweiligen Disziplinen. Dem Leser wird so ein multiperspektivischer Einblick in den Diskurs um Interkulturalität ermöglicht. This anthology adresses the topic of interculturality and, therefore, includes articles in English, German and Russian. In the context of the ongoing globalization, intercultural communication becomes increasingly important: global mobility and division of labour, free travelling combined with new communication technologies encourages exchange between people from different cultures. This requires intercultural competence and communication skills not only in private contexts but on the labour market as well. From different points of view the authors of this book discuss the relevance of intercultural communication. By showing how different disciplines deal with this topic the book gives the reader a multiperspective insight on the discourse of interculturality.
Download or read book The North Atlantic Treaty Organization and cross cultural competence written by Anne Julia Hagen and published by Universitätsverlag Potsdam. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the function that cross-cultural competence (3C) has for NATO in a military context while focusing on two member states and their armed forces: the United States and Germany. Three dimensions were established to analyze 3C internally and externally: dimension A, dealing with 3C within the military organization;dimension B, focusing on 3C in a coalition environment/multicultural NATO contingent, for example while on a mission/training exercise abroad;and dimension C, covering 3C and NATO missions abroad with regard to interaction with the local population. When developing the research design, the cultural studies-based theory of hegemony constructed by Antonio Gramsci was applied to a comprehensive document analysis of 3C coursework and regulations as well as official documents in order to establish a typification for cross-cultural competence. As the result, 3C could be categorized as Type I – Ethical 3C, Type II – Hegemonic 3C, and Type III – Dominant 3C. Attributes were assigned according to each type. To validate the established typification, qualitative surveys were conducted with NATO (ACT), the U.S. Armed Forces (USCENTCOM),and the German Armed Forces (BMVg). These interviews validated the typification and revealed a varied approach to 3C in the established dimensions. It became evident that dimensions A and B indicated a prevalence of Type III, which greatly impacts the work atmosphere and effectiveness for NATO (ACT). In contrast, dimension C revealed the use of postcolonial mechanisms by NATO forces, such as applying one’s value systems to other cultures and having the appearance of an occupying force when 3C is not applied (Type I-II). In general, the function of each 3C type in the various dimensions could be determined. In addition, a comparative study of the document analysis and the qualitative surveys resulted in a canon for culture-general skills. Regarding the determined lack of coherence in 3C correlating with a demonstrably negative impact on effectiveness and efficiency as well as interoperability, a NATO standard in the form of a standardization agreement (STANAG) was suggested based on the aforementioned findings, with a focus on: empathy, cross-cultural awareness, communication skills (including active listening), flexibility and adaptability, and interest. Moreover, tolerance of ambiguity and teachability, patience, observation skills, and perspective-taking could be considered significant. Suspending judgment and respect are also relevant skills here. At the same time, the document analysis also revealed a lack of coherency and consistency in 3C education and interorganizational alignment. In particular, the documents examined for the U.S. Forces indicated divergent approaches. Furthermore, the interview analysis disclosed a large discrepancy in part between doctrine and actual implementation with regard to the NATO Forces.

Download or read book A Relational View on Cultural Complexity written by Julika Baumann Montecinos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the conceptual and practical implications of applying a relational view to cultural complexity. The authors take the findings of an international and interdisciplinary Delphi study on transcultural competence as a starting point and offer further analysis and interpretation from their specific perspectives. Written by experts from a variety of disciplines, the book discusses the potential contributions of a relational approach to understanding and strengthening individuals and organizations in their contexts. Through various conceptual chapters, case studies and field reports, it explores the role and nature of commonalities for cooperation in contexts of cultural complexity and discusses the relationship between differences and commonalities, as well as the implications for relational leadership and management. The book is divided into four parts, the first of which introduces readers to the relational view. In turn, the second part elaborates on transcultural competence, while the third presents various case studies and field reports on experience-based learning and relationality in culturally complex settings. Finally, the fourth part sheds new light on relational leadership and the role of commonalities in organizational practice. As such, this book will appeal to scholars and practitioners in the areas of cultural and relational economics, intercultural communication, business strategy and leadership, and organizational studies.

Download or read book Parts and Wholes written by Laila Prager and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2016 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This festschrift for Josephus D.M. Platenkamp brings some central concerns of anthropology into focus: social morphology, exchange, cosmology, history, and practical applications. Ranging across several disciplines and continents, but with a preference for Southeast Asia, the contributions look at a common approach that unites these diverse themes. In this view, the most constitutive relationships of society are based on exchange. Exchange and ritual articulate central values of a society, thus appearing as parts in relationship to a whole. These relationships encompass both human and non-human beings, the social and the cosmological domain. Thus, the study of these subject issues merges into a single project.

Download or read book Education and Leadership written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This truly international book brings together authors from different regions of the world including North America, South Africa, Europe, Iran and Russia all of whom are concerned with aspects of the challenges involved in the expansion of higher education, both in student numbers and areas of study. Some are concerned about the loss of guiding principles which steered university education for centuries. The traditional purposes of higher education have come under such pressure that we have achieved “conflicting models of the university” (Claes) and “ambiguity” in regard to teaching and research (Simons et al). For others, the problems are at a different stage. Contributions from South Africa look at three challenges: Can we provide enough places in higher education? How do we deal with institutional mergers? How do we make staff development effective in a situation in which English is the first language of less than five percent of the staff? Young scholars in Russian regions face formidable hurdles in achieving academic careers while the best law graduates in Canada are faced with the ethical dilemma of personal career advancement or social justice (Topsakal). The problem of integrating nursing into a traditional Irish university is reviewed by Grant while the role of a university in regional development is addressed from a Greek perspective by Papaelias et al. The comparative international approach features in research into teacher job satisfaction in India and Iran while McMahon reviews the impact of the Bologna Process.
Download or read book Intercultural Horizons Volume III written by Lavinia Bracci and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a representative set of the papers given at the third annual Intercultural Horizons conference held in Siena, Italy, in October 2013. The conference attracted presenters and attendees from a variety of nations throughout five continents. The papers included in this volume are drawn from a series of conference sessions in which academicians and practitioners in the field offered theoretical analyses, case studies and other perspectives on intercultural studies, civic engagement and related topics. The volume is divided into four sections: Theoretical Considerations of Intercultural Competence and Interculturalism; Intercultural Development and Assessment: Practical Examples and Research; Civic Engagement in International and Culturally Diverse Contexts; and Intercultural Education and Training. The reader will find that most of the papers address a variety of intercultural topics beyond their specific chapter designations. In particular, the theme of second language acquisition, education and use was an overarching theme that emerged from a large number of papers and presentations, specifically with regards to the complexities now faced by intercultural educators and researchers as a result of the increasing dominance of English as a “lingua franca” both in academe and many nations.
Download or read book Interkulturelle Kompetenz written by Alois Moosmüller and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2020 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Begriff 'interkulturelle Kompetenz' entstand Anfang der 1990er Jahre im Zusammenhang mit der Frage, wie die Herausforderungen von Globalisierung und Multikulturalisierung der Gesellschaft auf der individuellen Handlungsebene bewältigt werden können. Heute ist der Begriff 'interkulturelle Kompetenz' alltäglich geworden; erfolgreich und angemessen mit Menschen umgehen zu können, die kulturell unterunterschiedlich orientiert sind, ist in allen Bereichen des privaten, öffentlichen und beruflichen Lebens eine nachgefragte Fähigkeit. In den Wissenschaften ist 'interkulturelle Kompetenz' dagegen ein umstrittenes Konstrukt. Die Diskrepanz zwischen praktischer Relevanz und theoretischer Fragwürdigkeit des Konzepts Interkulturelle Kompetenz stellt den Ausgangspunkt dieses Bandes dar. Die Autorinnen und Autoren setzen sich aus unterschiedlichen (Fach-)Perspektiven mit den strittigen Diskursen, Theorien und Modellen auseinander: Es geht um eine grundlegende Reflexion des Konstrukts Interkulturelle Kompetenz und wie dieses im Theorie- und Praxisfeld Interkulturelle Kommunikation verhandelt wird. Die Spannbreite der Texte reicht von der kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit Tendenzen und Entwicklungslinien des wissenschaftlichen Feldes Interkulturelle Kommunikation und des Umgangs mit den Begriffen Kultur, Interkulturalität und interkulturelle Kompetenz bis hin zu Fragen der Methodologie und Theoriebildung in spezifischen interkulturellen Handlungsszenarien. Das Anliegen dieses Bandes besteht darin, die aktuellen Debatten, Theoriebildungen und Praxisansätze, die sich mit dem Konzept Interkulturelle Kompetenz beschäftigen, in einen Zusammenhang zu bringen und kritisch zu kommentieren.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Interkulturelle Kompetenz sei eine notwendige Kompetenz für LehrerIn, um dem Anspruch der Bildung gerecht zu werden, allen Menschen, egal welcher Geburt oder Herkunft, den Zugang zu Bildung und Bildungsinstitutionen ermöglichen zu können. Dem Autor stellte sich die Frage, was unter interkulturellen Kompetenzen zu verstehen sei. Beim Versuch, eine Antwort darauf zu finden, wurde die Unschärfe des Begriffes erkannt. In diesem Buch wird kurz der historische Wandel des Begriffes dargestellt, auf die Begriffe Kompetenz und Kultur eingegangen und ein kritischer Blick auf den Begriff 'Interkulturelle Kompetenz' geworfen. Es wird überprüft, ob Interkulturelle Kompetenz der pädagogischen Intention, den Menschen in seiner Fähigkeit der Selbstbestimmung zu fördern bzw. ein selbstbestimmtes Leben führen zu können, gerecht wird.
Download or read book Inter and Transcultural Learning in the Context of Canadian Young Adult Fiction written by Grit Alter and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2015 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the past few years transcultural learning has become one of the key terms in TEFL theory. Central concerns in current research include differentiating between inter- and transcultural learning, navigating processes of understanding otherness, and assessing cultural competences. Using these aspects this study investigates texts recommended for cultural learning and key components of implementing literature in ELT. The results call for a more holistic perception of alterity and argue in favour of transcultural literature as a basis for transcultural learning. All of this dissertation is in English.
