Diversity and Inclusion. The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Chang Wang.
Cross-cultural competency is the ability to listen, process and communicate effectively with people across different cultures. While we have focused on the need cross-cultural competency in approaches to cross-border and international business e.g., Americans doing business in China, the need to cross-cultural competency hits even closer to home than we would like to admit. The biggest challenge Americans face, even before going across the other side of the world to do business, is going across town to work with fellow Americans. The changes demographics of America as America’s net population will be the population growth in other than a white population. Nearly four of 10 Americans identify with a race or ethnic group other than white, and the decade between 2010 and 2020 was the first in the nation’s history in which the white population declined in numbers.
