With our increasingly global world, it’s not unusual to see culture clashes happening at every level of society. Tom Morgan, an Intercultural Communication Consultant, has helped hundreds of people from different organizations adjust to the culture shock that comes with relocating and working in another part of the world. Here he talks about the subtle effects of cultural bias, which includes managerial challenges between low power distance and high power distance cultures. He also touches on the globalization of IT and other industries, and ways that the Indian economy is growing and changing.
In this interview, he covers:
• How to question your own cultural values
• Why cultural shock is often like returning to an infant state
• The assessment tools he uses to gauge people’s cultural dimensions
• The subtle effects of our own ethnocentric perception and evaluation
