Intercultural Perspectives in Communication - COMMS202 (2024)

This paper examines concepts of intercultural communication where consideration is given to individual and cross cultural values and practice. Communication will be considered through a range of themes including Treaty partnership in Aotearoa, cultural understanding and influences, perceptions and personality, motivation, decision making, groups and teams, diversity, inclusion and belonging, cultural approaches to leadership. This will enable students to gain insight into the complexity of culture and communication and to develop tools and strategies to communicate effectively in culturally diverse contexts.
