inter cultural communication

Inter-cultural communication

Cross cultural communication looks at how people, from different cultural backgrounds, strive to communicate this is frequently referred to inter-cultural communication. The concept of inter-cultural communication is based on the observation and consideration of values across culture which are considered to be varying among cultures as far as an international culture is referred (García-Carbonell, A. & Rising, B. 2006).

When studying inter-cultural communication it is important to understand the concept of sociocultural anthropology as a related field of inter-cultural communication. Sociocultural anthropology is the holistic study of humanity. Anthropologists argue that culture and established areas of communication refer to the process of exchanging information, usually via a common system of symbols (García-Carbonell, A. & Rising, B. 2006).

Human being has evolved a universal capacity to conceive of a world symbolically, to teach and learn such symbols socially, and to transform the world (and ourselves) based on such symbols. The activity of understanding and adapting symbols can be defined as “inter-cultural practice.” Since cultural practices comprises the way people do different things in a given culture.  This inter-cultural practice is linked to knowledge of the world taking into consideration different contexts which intervene and determine the level of understanding and, consequently the communication process (García-Carbonell, A. & Rising, B. 2006).

lHow to get started

How to get started

How do companies determine the best strategy for digital
transformation? A structured approach allows organizations
to engage customers, partners and employees at every step
along the transformation roadmap.
Identify transformation opportunities based on a thorough
understanding of digital transformation in the industry. This
depends on the degree to which your products and services
are – or could be – digitized and how competitors are
responding to new and rapidly changing customer
expectations. And products and services are directly
affected by new technologies, changing how customers
engage and collaborate.
Redefine the value proposition based on what existing and
prospective customers are likely to pay for going forward.
This requires looking at new ways to use technology to
differentiate offerings, reach existing customers with new
digital offerings or relationships and, finally, redefining entire
offerings for digital value.
Design the optimized operating model that combines
organizational capabilities and technology requirements.
Thinking through the “how” of value delivery requires
understanding of current capabilities and opportunities.
Operational design should support customer interaction as
part of cross-channel integration and supply chain
collaboration.

direct marketing

Is a communication between seller and buyer directly, no intermediary media is used. No distractions come between hopefully. It is direct communication but with a marketing purpose.

Drayton Bird (2000) describes it as’ an advertising activity, which creates and exploits a direct relationship between you and your prospect or customer as an individual’.

Direct marketing as the delivery of a marketing message or proposition to a target customer or potential customer, in a customer favorable format, put to the customer from the seller or the seller’s agents (including call centers) without an intermediary person or indirect media involved.

way you can engage with and create new value for
your customers?
• How will you drive the digital agenda in your
industry rather than having it imposed on you by
competitors?

The challenges of billboard location and interpretation toward customer’s loyalty

The challenges of billboard location and interpretation toward customer’s loyalty

 Outdoor advertising quickly communicated simple idea it is also offers repeated exposure to message and strong promotion for locally available product outdoor advertising is particularly effective along Metropolitan Street and in other high traffic area. But outdoor advertising just like every other type is subjected to mess. It also suffers from the brevity of exposure to its messaging by passing motorist. Drive concerned about rush hour safety and limited time also combine to limit the length of exposure to outdoor advert message. As a result most of these advert use striking simple illustration, short selling points and humor to attract people interested in product such as beverage, vocation, local entertainment and lodging.
