This book is a theoretical and practical discussion of intercultural communication and interaction and is aimed at academic courses as well as professional development programmes. It focuses, from a critical perspective, on the intercultural dynamics established between the members of multicultural groups/teams in various types of work environments. Selected academics and other experts on intercultural communication and interaction, representing different approaches and professional experience, joined, collaborated and contributed to the fulfilment of a three-year project where they developed a model in eight axes: - Intercultural Responsibility, Emotional Management, Intercultural Interaction, Communicative Interaction, Ethnography, Biography, Diversity Management and Working in Multicultural Teams. Each chapter provides an interdisciplinary account of its topic as well as an activity which aims to illustrate the ideas proposed.

Industry Reviews

This volume illustrates a new manner to examine intercultural communication competence in a global society. The editors have compiled a series of chapters from a variety of international and world class authors to examine real and symbolic mobility of people, identities, and cultures. The chapters examine, from professional and theoretical perspectives, how individuals in multicultural teams and workplaces establish and maintain effective relationships to fulfill the potential of diversity. It is a must read for scholars and practitioners of intercultural/multicultural work teams.
