The text advances some of the work from previous International and Intercultural Communication Annuals and also introduces new theoretical developments. These diverse explanatory approaches offer guidelines for investigating the complex phenomenon of intercultural communication. The theories in this text range in their approach, from systems theory to ethnographic analyses, and focus on a range of intercultural theories, from accommodation theory to cultural intolerance. Part I provides an overview of the role of theory in intercultural communication research. Part II includes theories on intercultural communication competence and adaptation, and Part III focuses on specific contexts for intercultural communication, such as health and small groups.  Continuing the series tradition, Intercultural Communication Theory is of great importance to scholars and students in interpersonal, speech, intercultural, and organizational communication as well as ethnic studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366313627921,"sku":"CIN0803972431G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366314938641,"sku":"CIN0803972431VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52138642342161,"sku":"NLS9780803972438","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014003351825,"sku":"NIN9780803972438","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803972431.jpg?v=1751296093"},{"product_id":"theories-in-intercultural-communication-book-young-yun-kim-9780803931503","title":"Theories in Intercultural Communication","description":"Published in cooperation with the Speech Communication Association Division on International and Intercultural Communication Just as the earlier version of this work (Intercultural Communication Theory) helped to define the field, Theories In Intercultural Communication also makes an important contribution. This collection represents the major current approaches to the study of intercultural communication, as well as of communication in general. The contributors cover constructivist theory, coordinated management theory, convergence theory, adaptation in intercultural relationships, intercultural transformation, and network theory. The volume offers an analysis of the most current theories in intercultural communication. It also points to areas of further research and the need for continued refinements of existing approaches. This volume is valuable for graduate students and professionals in the areas of communication (especially intercultural and interpersonal), ethnic studies, cross-cultural studies, comparative studies, and education. The book is well conceived in its purpose, scope, and organization. It is also well executed with an even quality throughout. Each chapter author clearly presents the theory and provides thorough documentation. . . . This volume . . . promises to become a central piece in both the definition and development of theory in intercultural communication. --Modern Language Journal This volume does represent a significant attempt to consolidate and crystallize the current intellectual core concepts of mainsteam intercultural communications theories and to push the field forward toward a more rigorous and coherent state. . . . As a collection, these essays cover a lot of the bumpy terrain that constitutes the field of intercultural communication from an interpersonal perspective. . . . Very useful in the context of a university course on intercultural communications. --Canadian Journal of Communication","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367571493137,"sku":"CIN0803931506G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52139292066065,"sku":"NLS9780803931503","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803931506.jpg?v=1750979668"},{"product_id":"methods-for-intercultural-communication-research-book-william-b-gudykunst-9780803922624","title":"Methods for Intercultural Communication Research","description":"The methodology behind intercultural communication research has been largely neglected by scholars of intercultural communication. The aim of this volume is to advance the study of intercultural communication and move away from the current abstract stage of development. The editors have collected contributions which examine the skills necessary to have a firm grounding in general methodological issues, research techniques, statistics, methods for doing comparative sociology, and methods of traditional anthropology. Essays also deal with problems arising from such research, and the sociology of knowledge of intercultural communication as opposed to cross-cultural communication.    `Two features make this volume exceptional. First...this is the only volume that explores research methodologies in intercultural communication. Second...(this book) provides a balanced presentation of both quantitative and qualitative research approaches...this is an extremely valuable resource for anyone interested in intercultural communication.

For those interested in learning more about various communication-based theories and approaches to the study of intercultural competence I highly recommend they take a close look at this book. I found the introductory chapter by Koester, Wiseman, and Sanders extremely valuable in integrating the various perspectives represented by the authors. Their discussion of the starting points for the study of the intercultural communication competence. . . was very well written. Part I focused on conceptual issues, and it includes and excellent review article by Judith Martin about the various approaches taken in the study of intercultural communication competence. William Gudykunst′s anxiety\/uncertainty management chapter is perhaps the clearest and most practical extension to date of his extensive theoretical research program on uncertainty and anxiety reduction processes. It is tightly written with examples and elaborated explanations of key constructs that relate to intercultural effectiveness. I found this chapter [Myron Lustig and Brian Spitzberg′s methodological concerns relevant to the study of intercultural communication competence] to be one of the most targeted analyses of research methods for examining communication competence within the distinctly different intercultural arena. This chapter  provides a blueprint for research design decision making on studying the difficult phenomenon of intercultural communication competence.  . . .Donal Carbaugh′s ethnographic approach for identifying the verbal means and meanings in social interaction is exciting, creative, insightful, and practical. I highly recommend Intercultural Communication Competence for a graduate-level theory course in intercultural communication and, more generally, for any course that focuses on cross-cultural interaction. Further, this book would be a welcome addition for a graduate-level intercultural research course.Overall, Wiseman and Koester have edited a high-quality intercultural book that focuses on a complex communication phenomenon. I urge anyone interested in this important topic to read Intercultural Communication Competence.  --Mitchell R. Hammer,  The American University,  International Journal of Intercultural Relations  Contemporary societies have witnessed the greatest migration of human populations in recorded history. Accordingly, interactions among citizens of these societies are becoming increasingly intercultural. By gathering the most current research, theories, and methods from the leading scholars in the field, Intercultural Communication Competence is the state-of-the-art study on intercultural communication competence and effectiveness. Part I analyzes the conceptual decisions made in intercultural communication competence research by examining decisions regarding conceptualization, operationalization, research design, and sampling. In Part Two, the contributors present four different theoretical orientations while illustrating how each person′s theoretical bias directs the focus of research. The essays in the final section examine both qualitative and quantitative approaches to intercultural communication competence research.  With exemplary conceptual and empirical studies, scholars, researchers, teachers, and students alike will find a wealth of information in this tightly edited book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52123383660817,"sku":"NLS9780803947207","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780803947207.jpg?v=1757449829"},{"product_id":"communicating-in-multinational-organizations-book-richard-l-wiseman-9780803955394","title":"Communicating in Multinational Organizations","description":"Published in cooperation with the Speech Communication Association Division on International and Intercultural Communication Division  As multinational organizations sweep across the world, the need for an ability to communicate across cultures and countries increases. Timely and accessible, Communicating in Multinational Organizations brings together key scholars throughout the discipline to combine the latest theories and research with practical illustrations applicable to training. They examine communication within organizations between people of different cultural backgrounds, highlighting the means in which misunderstandings arise and the methods that foster better relations. The first section provides theoretical and research issues on communication in multinational organizations; the second section probes cultural foundations by contrasting Latin American, Asian, Western European, and North American styles of communicating; and the third section details such issues as cultural diversity, intercultural training, and adjustment in the workforce.

Editors William J. Starosta and Guo-Ming Chen, along with a diverse group of distinguished contributors, recall the 1983 topical issue of The Journal of Communication that reported a critical turn and a shift of paradigms in communication research.         Offering a postmodern critique of some of the more common approaches to research, this volume treats the researcher as an instrument and welcomes multiple voices in research, invites critique and self-reflection, rethinks rhetoric, categorizes research assumptions, and considers the researched a partner in a research conversation. Ferment in the Intercultural Field critiques western perspectives and looks for applications that will improve intercultural frictions and misunderstandings. The volume also includes analyses that speak to \"ferment\" in terms of axiology, values, and praxis.           Recommended for scholars and researchers in the area of intercultural communication, Ferment in the Intercultural Field is also a vital resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate communication students.           About the Editors:    William J.

He has held elective office in two professional societies and is founding editor of the Howard Journal of Communications. He presently conducts research in inter-ethnic conflict, intercultural rhetoric, and intercultural communication theory.         Guo-Ming Chen, Ph.D., is Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Rhode Island.
