When the boss fi rst took me on he fi lled me in on what the
job involved, but he didn’t tell me I would have to do so much
travelling!
Well, I stepped down as Chairman in 2016, and Michael took
over. As you know, he has carried out some important reforms in
the company and has been very successful.
I’m 60 now, so I think it’s high time I stepped down and handed over to a younger person.

Intercultural communication
Reading I
1) Communication as a fi eld of scientifi c knowledge has
a long history. Problems in the study of are among the most
pressing problems for mankind. Central position in the history
of human communications explains why the various branches
such as anthropology, art, education, ethnology, history, journalism, law, linguistics, philosophy, political science, psychology and sociology gravitates to the study of communication
processes, says a leading theorist of mass communication Erik
Barnouw . Communication is a social process. It performs a
bridging function in society. Communication takes place not
only in the social systems but a certain kind of communication
maybe typical for animals for example: bird singing, the language of bees and so on. We also use the concept of communication and talk about the set of technical tools, mechanisms
238
such as transportation, telephone signals, computer systems
etc. We are interested in human communication in our article.
Functions are implemented in the communication process,
that are speech acts. Here we note that that the splitting of the
communication process like
individual acts is conditional. Com-
munication can be allocated only for research purpose and role
reversal from the sender to the recipient because communication is continuum. This means continuous interaction in the
communication process. Here are the functions of messages
and communicative acts which are made by R.Dimbleby and
G.Burton such as: warning, advice, information, conviction, expression, entertainment. When the communication process is
the object of analysis it is convenient to show a model. There
are production and text.

ofthe survey should have been supported by numbers to prove
the benefi ts, rather than based solely on opinions. 3 Because
it could be seen as a luxury to enjoy when there is spare money,
but something to ditch (= abandon) when money is tight. 4
