Aspects of Intercultural Communication in IT: Convergence of Communication and Computing in the Global World of Interconnectedness

Abstract

The paper focuses on the influence of culture and communication on the way IT processes are managed. The global world is very much intercultural and interconnected, mostly due to the vast impact of the Internet communication. To communicate efficiently, the intercultural aspects of information transferred by computerized information systems must be taken into account. There are many issues which have to be addressed by the IT departments in companies if they want to be successful and competitive. The paper stresses the importance of interculturality in the global IT world and tries to find key issues which are crucial to stability of IT processes in companies. There are also very important issues connected to computational linguistics and machine learning which can be utilized when developing tools for intercultural global world because both computational linguistics and machine learning can bring new ideas and issues to areas such as eLearning. In eLearning processes the use of artificial intelligence though computational linguistics and machine learning can eliminate the potential bottlenecks which we are now facing globally.
