In today's globalized world, many teams are spread around the world. Their collaboration depends on communication by chats, email, video conferencing and other media to cross the geographical gap. When team members come from different cultures, they must also reconcile various expectations towards communication style. The "culture gap" becomes even more obvious because such technologies can remove many of the elements of face-to-face communication through which we convey meaning, often leaving only the words with little clue as to the context in which our counterpart has sent the message.
This course on intercultural communication in virtual teams enables team leaders to understand and meet the challenges of creating a common spirit and motivating members in such teams. It helps participants to develop strategies to create a shared understanding among all team members to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts and ensure that meaning is understood among the sender and receiver.
