Intercultural challenges
Various intercultural issues that are faced by the professionals within the hospital industry are as
follows
 Authoritarian concepts: various views regarding hierarchy of the organization varies a lot
across the cultures. For example a particular U.S native working in the hospital industry
might expect reporting directly to the manger, and the manger would report directly to
him. Whereas in some of the European as well as Middle Eastern cultures employees
might expect a greater rate of acceptance in the input (Vassou, Zopiatis and Theocharous,
2017). This might create a major issue in the workplace environment of the hospital
industry.
 Communication: differences might emerge in the languages that are used by the
professionals within the hospital industry. This might create a major issue within the

8
MARKET TRENDS
workplace where some of the professionals where some of the professionals could speak
English as their first language whereas some of the workers might speak English as their
second language. In order to limit their understanding as well as remove any sort of
confusion, the workplace could follow a common language in which the professionals
would communicate (McComb, Fedele and Brunese, 2019). The professional meeting
could be carried out such that no other languages would be used by the professionals.
 Social constructs: in most of the cases, organisations within the hospital industry ignore
various social norms as well as acceptable behaviours, this further leads to numerous
difficulties within the global business communications. The employees within the
industry are not trained to interact and keep a good relation with individuals and hence
maintain a diverse background (McLinton, Loh and Dollard, 2018). This further makes
the process of corporate training even more difficult. The process of corporate training
includes a certain level of education that is social in nature, lack of this prevents the
sector from promoting understanding and cooperation.

 Data analytics must be learnt in a proper manner as this technology is in constant usage:

the process will be helping in bettering the working process. Even the management
process will be getting better along with better decision making. With the help of data
analytics the main aspect that is considered is that proper trend analysis is performed.
This proper trend analysis helps in better sectioning of the data propagation and hence
decision making gets easier.
