In this article I will demonstrate how globalization of the world economy has created a need for the development of individuals with intercultural communication skills. The discussion will begin with a basic discussion of terminology and continue through a description of the various problems in inter-cultural communication, which results when people must function with and among people from other cultures. I will focus on the problems which students who are involved in international programs might have with cultural shock. I will advocate developing training programs that may better prepare students or other international sojourners for intercultural exchanges by giving them a better sense of what they may go through personally and how to cope with the various stages of cultural shock. It is hoped that by designing good preparation programs, that international sojourners will be able to benefit more from their foreign experiences and/or be able to conduct business better. Intercultural communication skills will better prepare the sojourner for life in their new context and reduce misunderstanding between various cultural mindsets. The discussion will end with recommendations for the development of intercultural communicators, people who can work successfully in a number of diverse cultures, and the role that must be played by universities in order to prepare their students for what is increasingly a truly global, multi-cultural work space.
