Insbesondere Sozialwissenschaftler sind mit dieser Forschungsrichtung in einen interdisziplinären Dialog eingetreten, der in den verschiedensten Foren und Forschungsverbünden bis heute anhält. Diesem Dialog soll im vorliegenden Band ebenso nachgegangen werden wie den Veränderungen in der Perspektive auf eine sprachwissenschaftlich fundierte Diskursanalyse, die sich durch teilweise auseinanderstrebende jüngere Auffassungen der beiden Herausgeber ergeben haben.

Im Zuge der kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Globalisierung kommt der Aneignung sowie der Erforschung und Vermittlung interkultureller Kompetenzen eine große Bedeutung zu. Auch auf dem Arbeitsmarkt wird diese Schlüsselqualifikation in zunehmendem Maße vorausgesetzt und nachgefragt. Diese Einführung informiert über Konzeptionen, Problembereiche, Methoden, Theorieansätze sowie zentrale Begriffe der Interkulturellen Kommunikation und bietet zahlreiche anschauliche Beispiele. Der Autor analysiert Interaktionssituationen (beim Lernen, in der Wirtschaft und in multikulturellen Gesellschaften) und beschreibt als weitere Schwerpunkte Kulturtransfer (in den Medien und der Werbung) sowie Fremdwahrnehmungsprozesse (Stereotypenbildung, Vorurteilsstrukturen etc.). Die vierte Auflage wurde durchgehend aktualisiert. Erweitert wurden die Abschnitte zum interkulturellen Lernen, zu Teambildung und Personalmanagement, zur Interkulturellen Kommunikation in Organisationen sowie zu Migration und Integration.
