Can anyone help?
I'm at student at the IT-University in Denmark, writing a project on IT across cultures.
I'm looking for material to do with the ways in which communication on the Internet differs in relation to high and low context cultures. My interest lies primarily in the way information is conveyed on websites, and whether the characteristics such as non-verbal communication are reflected on websites, for instance through use of certain colours, symbols, visual metaphors and so on.
Thanks,
Elizabeth.
