Abstract
Working concepts for cross-cultural technical communication are described. The purpose of these working concepts is to provide a foundation for creating an effective methodology for this type of communication. Cross-cultural technical communication is characterized by type, i.e. verbal or written, and applications, e.g. international sales or technology transfer. A strategy is presented that provides guidelines for managing a project involving cross-cultural technical communication and for identifying relevant criteria for successful communication
