🔐 Integrity Tip:

Cultural sensitivity isn’t just about avoiding offense—it’s about building trust. AI can offer help, but it may default to dominant cultural norms. Always review for subtle cues that might not translate well across contexts.

 

🔮Future Connection:

Each chapter, has a corresponding AI-supported learning activity designed to help you engage more deeply with the concepts. These assignments are hosted in Canvas and follow a structured, iterative process using a provided template. You’ll use AI tools to:

  • Explore and clarify key ideas from the chapter

  • AI Practice Assignment Preview: Chapter 13 – Communicating Across Cultures and Global Teams

    This week’s assignment focuses on using AI to revise business messages for clarity, sensitivity, and inclusivity in global contexts. Students will explore how cultural awareness shapes communication and how AI can assist—while also learning to spot where it might fall short.

    Learning Objective

    Students will:

    • Use AI to analyze and revise global business messages
    • Apply cross-cultural communication principles for clarity and respect
    • Strengthen inclusivity and adaptability in professional messaging

    Assignment Flow

    1. Explore Cross-Cultural Communication with AI
      Students will prompt an AI tool to identify common challenges in international communication and suggest strategies for adapting tone and structure. They’ll critique the AI’s response for nuance and alignment with chapter principles.
    2. Revise a Global Team Message
      Students will choose a culturally insensitive or overly casual message and prompt AI to revise it for a diverse, international audience. They’ll evaluate the AI’s suggestions and reflect on what worked—and what needed human refinement.
    3. Level Up the Message for Global Impact
      Using Track Changes, students will refine the AI-generated message to improve clarity, tone, and cultural sensitivity. A short reflection will connect their edits to real-world global team scenarios and inclusive communication strategies.
