Such work used to be referred to as "international public relations", although this term has now been partly supplanted by the terms cross-cultural or global public relations. International public relations is necessarily inter-cultural and of course includes diplomacy (L'Etang, 2010).The challenge here is to reflect upon the potential multiplicity of public relations practice cultures and micro-cultures as well as the roles that public relations plays 'between the hyphens' in culture or enacting culture.The bulk of literature that

With online communication, you eliminate the non-verbal forms of communication which can be both good and bad. The removal of non-verbal communication can be good because you can avoid worrying about what your movements or demeanor might indicate, but it can be bad because the majority of communication typically is non-verbal. This can greatly affect the meaning being conveyed, and typically emotion cannot be perceived from text.

For example, Chinese and Indian employees may avoid looking directly when talking with their managers to show their respect while Australian can consider lack of gaze as insincerity or dishonesty (Li 2004). Therefore, understanding cross-cultural values enable senior managers to understand their employees better.
There are some approaches to improve non-verbal communication skills suggested by Foley and Gentile (2010). Firstly, paying attention to non-verbal signals can raise the awareness of noticing body language. Secondly, observing incongruent behaviours can provide some cues to judge whether one’s words

appoint an individual to serve as liaison. A working group to include a first line manager, liaison and manager should be formed. Members of the working group would work with the liaison to ensure they are knowledgeable as to management's expectations regarding the quality control meetings. This individual (liaison) would then begin working with other assemblers.In conclusion, ZAP!! needs to be zapped. It would appear that no one group at ZAP!! completely understands another. Nor do they know how to cross the lines of miscommunication. In order to effectively achieve the quality control goal, the employees of ZAP!! need to resolve the communication problem. This problem could be resolved but all parties at ZAP!! will need to work together.ReferencesBarnett, A. (2001).

We have yet to experience the entire consequences of these latest developments, but we can be sure that in the near future people will look at our new system of communication as being as primitive as we now regard radio.
