The paper looked at the Marriott Hotel in United Arab Emirates and assessed what intercultural challenges it faces as well as the various ways in which the chain hotel deals with these challenges. There is a challenge of coming up with a common language that fits all individuals of different ages and cultural backgrounds. Due to cultural diversity and the ever-increasing age diversity in the hotel chain, Marriott is faced with other communication challenges that relate faulty translation, making assumptions without sufficient clarification, and linguistic chaos resulting from obscurity of language that is age or culture-specific.
To deal with these challenges, Marriott has a program that is meant to bring all the cultural diversities of the employees into one and form an organization-specific culture that every employee identifies with. This is achieved through programs such as “Spirit to Serve” (Marriott Hotels 2014). In addition, the Hotel also employs various communication methods to ensure that the message being relayed is effectively communicated. It uses both formal and informal means to achieve this.
