Поиск

 

1.Hospitality: Traditionally a nomadic culture, hospitality has always been an important part of Kazakh culture. Displays of generosity and welcoming behaviour are common in both social and business Kazakh spheres. An invitation to the traditional Kazakh feast, dastarkhan, is the most popular form of Kazakh hospitality.

2. Tradition: Kazakh traditions and culture have been passed on from one generation to another through oral histories told by traditional Kazakh tribal leaders and elders. Much of the traditional Kazakh culture was lost under Soviet rule but strong elements remain today and are celebrated among family, a central part of Kazakh society. While the country is becoming increasingly modernised and in contact with global culture, Kazakhs hold on strongly to their traditions and culture of which they are proud.

3. Collectivism: The concept "us" in the traditional Kazakh society has always been more significant than that of "me". Relations of property were similar, with the strongest emphasis being upon their collective origin. At the same time, through the complex mechanism of land-tenure property was distinctly regulated. Three main forms of property (private, common-group and social) existed before in Kazakhstan.

4. Freedom: Freedom is the major value of the civil society being formed in Kazakhstan. This must provide everyone with the possibility of creative self-realization. Nomads have always been famous for a freedom-loving spirit. The feeling of freedom resulted in special attitude to the environment, a developed awareness and a profound interest in the world.

5. Patriotism: The formation of civil society institutions is impossible without the development of a patriotism shared by the entire Kazakhstan, and with deep roots in the culture, psychology, and historical past of the Kazakhs. In a traditional Kazakh society such values as love of the Motherland (atameken), its veneration and care have also been strong.

6. Respect: Religious tolerance, absence of fanaticism and religious aggression are historic traditions of the Kazakh nation. Respect of elders and of the spiritual freedom of other nations are principal values. It is important to develop a productive dialogue between confessions and to acknowledge religion as an element of civil society.

Customs and traditions in Kazakhstan.

 

Kazakhs have always revered and highly valued their national customs and traditions. It is almost impossible to describe all the traditions followed by Kazakh people in one article, thus a brief introduction to Kazakh beliefs and customs is given below.

The main tradition of Kazakhs, which eventually transformed into a feature of national character, is hospitality. In the Kazakh society, there is an unofficial law voiced in ancient times, which says “Meet a guest as the God's messenger”.

Hospitality is considered a sacred duty in the Kazakh society. At all times, the steppe inhabitants did their best to please their guest. Therefore, each traveller knew that he or she would be welcomed anywhere in the Kazakh land.

Respect for the elderly is another positive feature of Kazakhs. Traditionally, a child from early childhood is taught to be moderate and honest when dealing with older, wiser and life experienced people.

20. The business etiquette of the interpreters.

 

In business meetings and negotiations translator is in a peculiar position. On the one hand, his services are needed, and therefore, he - a mandatory participant in the talks. But the peculiarity of his position lies in the fact that, on the other hand, with all its necessary it should not be noticeable, it should be "invisible." This is not an independent party to negotiations, this "tool" with which the process of international business negotiation proceeds most efficiently. Translator is not able to express their own thoughts, it is just an intermediary, but he must pass exactly two (or more) languages ​​not only the meaning of statements, but also their emotional, style of speech of the speaker, even the rate of speech and intonation system, if possible, of course. This "vzhivanie" in the image of whose speech has translations, the translator much physical and emotional stress.

21. Speech etiquette. Give the definition.

People working whether in a small non-profit organization, a well established company, or someplace in between no matter where they work, there are some mandatory work-place manners that they need to follow. The etiquette includes carrying a proper conduct be it in dressing; eating and drinking; interacting with colleagues subordinates, seniors and clients; at a meeting or at a social gathering. There is also a proper etiquette to be followed when speaking.

What is business etiquette? Give the examples.

Business etiquette is in essence about building relationships with people. In the business world, it is people that influence your success or failure. Etiquette, and in particular business etiquette, is simply a means of maximising your business potential. Business etiquette varies from region to region and country to country. For the international business person, focusing too deeply on international business etiquette would leave no time for business. However, there are some key pillars upon which good business etiquette is built.

It is important to be considerate about the psychological needs of different people. A very useful rule of thumb to go by is that of “the three Rs”. These are:

Recognition - using names, greetings, and making a point of acknowledging people.

Respect - treating people with respect, value and courtesy. Especially apologising to them where the situation calls for it.

Response - people do not want to be kept waiting, they need to be responded to.

Latin America

In Guatemala, as well as in most of Latin America, little to no business is conducted during Holy Week, the week leading up to Easter.

It may be considered an insult in Columbia to leave immediately after a meeting is completed, as doing so may suggest that you are not interested in getting to know your counterparts.

In Mexico, conversations occur at a much closer physical proximity than you may be accustomed to in the United States. Moving away to establish distance is considered unfriendly. In response, your counterpart may step towards you to close the distance.

In Venezuela, once you establish a relationship with certain people, you may receive an abrazo. It is a customary embrace that may be accompanied by a kiss on the cheek.

38. National - cultural peculiarities of nonverbal-communication. Miming.

 

Miming means to act out something without words, which makes it an ideal activity for practicing nonverbal communication. Have participants write a short comic sketch that tells a story in small groups and then perform it to the others. Set a time limit for the length of the sketch. Alternatively, have each member take turns to stand before the group and mime out an activity without communicating out loud. Some examples of activities may be walking the dog or serving cake. The rest of the group tries to guess which activity is being mimed.

39. National - cultural peculiarities of nonverbal-communication. Proxemics.

One of the terms used in non-verbal language is proxemics. Edward Hall defined proxemics in the 1950’s and 1960’s when he investigated man’s use of personal space in contrast with fixed and semi-fixed feature space. Fixed feature is what it is fixed has in unmovable boundaries. Semi-fixed is fixed boundaries that can be moved like furniture.

 

Proxemics can be divided in two other ways, physical and personal territory. Physical territory is like desks that are in front of the room of a classroom instead of center.

 

An example of the proxemic concept is that of stepping behind the desk of an associate at work and invading the personal zone. But what if it is the boss; do you have the authority? If it’s a co-worker you probably do. A workplace where you sit is a primary tool in establishing certain communications and is his or her freedom to place that desk where and how it is a key element in personnel considerations. The cubicles don’t offer the chance to allow the worker to rearrange the furniture to his or her preference, nor do they allow visitors. Extra room or the ability to move furniture in an office are both symbols of status.

 

40. National - cultural peculiarities of nonverbal-communication. Kinesics.

Kinesics, or body language, is one of the most powerful ways that humans can communicate nonverbally. It is used to portray moods and emotions and to emphasize or contradict what is being said.

 

Body language is very important when in an interview. "To effectively communicate it’s not always what you say, but what your body says, that makes the difference," according to Patricia Ball. There are various different types of body movement one can do to come across as being too strong or too weak. For example, when one first walks into the room and shakes hands with the interviewer you want to have good eye contact as well as a good firm hand shake. Not too strong, because you can come across as being a power player. Another important aspect to remember when you are on an interview and that is to mirror your interviewer, but not to the point that you over do it. For example, if the person that is giving you the interview crosses his/her arms than you can cross your arms. If he/she crosses their feet then you should cross your feet, but do it gradually.

41. National - cultural peculiarities of nonverbal-communication. Haptics.

Research has found that touching can create both positive and negative feelings. Your feelings are positive when the touch is perceived to be natural. A person gets the opposite feeling when the touch is perceived to be manipulative or insincere. Touch is experienced in many ways. Handshakes, pats, and kisses are just a few of the ways one can communicate by touching.

42. National - cultural peculiarities of nonverbal-communication. Artifacts.

Artifacts are often used to communicate information about oneself. Artifacts are objects, often clothes, jewelry, pictures, trinkets, which express one’s interests, hobbies, status, or lifestyle. Often noted in democratic societies, where all are thought to be equal, artifacts are used to announce inequalities that for reasons of taste and conformity, cannot be expressed in words.

 

One of the most influential artifacts a person possesses is one’s wardrobe. Much psychology and communication research supports that -at least in the observer’s eyes- that clothes do make the man (or woman!). Lefkowitz, Blake, and Mouton found in their own study that dress can even affect how willing others will be to follow you. This study found that significantly more individuals would follow a model’s example in crossing against the "wait" signal when dressed in a business suit than when the same model crossed the street dressed in poor work clothes.

43. National - cultural peculiarities of nonverbal-communication. Chronemics.

ime, or chronemics, can be used very differently with respect to individuals and even cultures. Time perceptions include punctuality, willingness to wait, and interactions. Time use affects lifestyles, daily agendas, speed of speech and movements, how long people are willing to listen, etc.

 

The way time is used can provide information about people as individuals. There are different perceptions about time usage and its value. Also, cultures differ in their usage of time. For example, in European and American societies, when men are interacting with women, they generally control the time use, talk more than women, and interrupt more than women. In the business world, Americans are expected to arrive to meetings on time and, usually, even early. On the other hand, they arrive late to parties and dances.

 

44. National - cultural peculiarities of nonverbal-communication. Volume, the pitch of tone, the rate of speech, pause, intonation.

45. First contacts: meeting a business partner in the airport, accommodation, making first contacts.

46. Introductions. Names and titles.

47. The etiquette of first meetings in different countries.

48. The etiquette of first meetings in your country.

49. The interaction of verbal and non-verbal means of communication in the situation of first meeting the business colleagues.

50. Cultural differences of nonverbal communication while greeting new people.

51. Think of the cultural issues that may affect business relationship.

Social and cultural factors can affect a business as tastes, priorities of life and lifestyle can change. For example, when any company or business, which is selling products like food, stuffs for house, furniture, etc., gives their customers a bad product, such as not healthy food or spoiled product, then people will become more health conscious then the business will generate less revenue. Or another example, when a person from another culture, which the company does not know about, can come in and of course a person will need a special attention, because nobody knows which understanding and values he/she has. So as you can see it also can affect business. And of course, one of the main parts of business is communication. Without a good communication, business will not have this high level of the working system and operations. And in any business it is very important to understand cultural difference, because employees in company or business can have a deal with people of various cultures. Often business deals are lost because the parties involved did not take the time to learn about their each others' cultures prior to interacting.
