Once a week I would go into an AUAP classroom and help them with the classroom activities. This experience allowed me to get over my uncertainty avoidance and self- disclose information with the AUAP students in order to connect with them more. Before going into the classroom, I was very anxious and uncertain of what might happen during my time with the students.

In this section the theoretical arguments on corporate culture by Schein will initiate a discussion on the role of corporate culture in intercultural communication. The discussion will serve as a basis for an assessment of how well the corporate culture is transferred and shared between the Danish headquarter of Flying Tiger to the Japanese partner Sazaby league Ltd.
