    Here is an overview about how we can gain trust within a multicultural environment. The importance of information and knowledge about other cultures and language barriers help to improve the effectiveness of multicultural team´s interaction.

    Anola, thanks for posting the link for this article. It is very interesting. "The most productive people are the most trusting people. If this seems to be an astonishing statement, it shows how distorted the concept of trust has become. Trust is one of the most essential qualities of human relationships. Without it, all human interaction, all commerce, all society would disappear." This was great to read and it is so true. I had no idea that there are people doing research on such a topic. The section on "language barriers" is brilliant. :) I have never thought of it and now that I do I am wondering: in a multicultural context such as Luxembourg are the "native speakers helping overcoming the language barriers?". After all, and according to this article, that should be a responsibility, instead of an "act of kindness"...

    Well, this: "This assumption is not nearly as common in countries like France or Italy. French people who meet by accident in the street are usually on the defensive: each assumes that the intentions of the other are negative until proven otherwise" is not absolutely true, however French people in general do not help foreigners to overcome the language barriers, neither from kindness, nor from responsibility. It is very interesting to see this topic on a cultural differecies level, from the perspective of trust - which countries, nations are less and more confidential, in what cases, etc.

    thank you. I wonder what the common values are, if we are to trust each other in multicultural environment.

    Thank you Anola for this article. It is very interesting and reflects a lot what is happening in companies nowadays, as well as what we went through in this Master. I follow Dora's comments when saying that this topic should be seen from someone else's point of view. It is very clear that it is only the American's point of view on how to build trust as well as how other's see it. It would be interesting to compare it, and realize that maybe we don't define the concept of 'trust' the same way depending on the culture.
