Culture and Interpersonal Communication examines the theoretical influence of culture on interpersonal communication. The authors provide a framework for guiding future, and for interpreting past, research in the field. The authors contend that cross-cultural comparisons of interpersonal communication must be theoretically based and thus that culture must be treated as a variable in research. This concept is presented in t in the firo chapters and then applied to specific areas of research. Previous research is reinterpreted in the light of this, and explanations are provided on how culture has influenced specific areas such as situational factors, verbal and nonverbal communication styles, and interpersonal and intergroup relationships. The volume as a whole is essential reading for students and researchers in both interpersonal and intercultural communication, and of social psychology and ethnic studies.

"Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion," asserts Jack Welch, Chairman and CEO of General Electric, in an interview featured in The Articulate Executive. This insightful collection illustrates the powerful connections between effective communication and effective leadership in the information age. While some of the articles focus on the mechanics of communication-providing applicable ideas and guidelines for improving writing skills, presenting plans, conducting interviews, and holding meetings-the emphasis is on the variable beneath the surface, such as nonverbal cues and personal agendas, which have at least as great an impact on how messages are received and acted upon as they travel up, down, and across the organization.
