INTRODUCTION
This assignment for CBC1501 focuses on the use of Google Drive and
Google Docs, alongside theoretical and practical applications of cultural
communication in virtual teams. In response to the digital transformation
experienced by global companies like Investec, students are required to
complete Assessment 2 using cloud-based platforms to demonstrate digital
literacy. The assignment explores how cultural differences, time zones, and
digital miscommunication impact workplace productivity in international
settings. It is divided into four questions, beginning with a technical task
involving Google Drive and Google Docs, followed by a structured essay plan
discussing culture, intercultural communication, and the technological
imperatives of communication. In addition, the assessment includes a formal
report and business letter that apply theoretical knowledge to real-world
workplace challenges, such as misinterpretation of verbal and non-verbal
cues across cultures. Links to the Google Drive folder and Google Docs file
are provided to confirm compliance with the digital tool requirements of this
task.
