Auszug aus dem Buch
2. The Achievement of Total Intercultural Synergy
The dawn of a global civilization presupposes the waning of the dark clouds of the culture wars of the 20th century and the mindsets that have been thinking from the background of this century. A more global civilisation needs a radically new approach. Optimizing old approaches still amounts to old approaches, however improved, with consequences that can only be different in degrees with regard to their capacity of generating cultural problems. We are prolonging the past indefinitely in myriad variations. We haven’t been able to identify and successfully implement a kind of master control software that allows us to successfully manage our mental software. This is the master dilemma of which intercultural dilemmas are but mirror reflections at lower levels.
Like Don Quijote, we create and fight our dilemmas ourselves heroically, with unbearable sorrow, going where the brave dare not go, dream the impossible dream, this is my quest’ (Cervantes, Don Quijote). The moment we realize that there is a master dilemma, which creates myriads of sub-dilemmas, we see a new possibility, one of realizing our seemingly impossible dream. The dilemma is that we are conditioned in myriad ways and that this conditioning, which has taken place in our lifetime and probably beyond, determines our actions, attitudes and behaviours. So, conditioning and time are elements of concern here.
Summary of Chapters
1. An intercultural Management Toolbox: This chapter introduces key models like the ORJI Model, the MIS Factor Process, and the PIE Metaphor to help managers identify and manage intrapsychic processes and cultural filters.
2. The Achievement of Total Intercultural Synergy: This chapter argues for moving beyond traditional cultural conditioning by leveraging a higher, noetic level of consciousness to transcend cultural barriers and resolve dilemmas.
3. The Technical Terminology of Intercultural Communication and Management: An English Language Transcultural Dictionary: This chapter provides a comprehensive, structured reference list of terms and concepts relevant to international management and intercultural communication.
