Abstract

The understanding of organizational interactions in corporations is based on the several definitions and typologies. There are many possible organizational interactions connected to different social processes, such as communication, power relations and control, tangible and intangible exchange and others.

The main objective of this chapter is the discussion of the cognitive values of the different ways of understanding organizational intercultural interactions in corporations.

After identification of the main common points in various definitions, the paradigms of organizational interactions in corporations are explained. The disciplinary paradigms of psychology, sociology, linguistics, political science and management are applied to the discourse. Moreover, the proposal of Burrell and Morgan is implemented and as a result organizational intercultural interactions in corporations are explained by neo-positivist and functional, interpretative-symbolic, critical and postmodern perspectives. Finally, the prospects for research into intercultural interaction, i.e. the positive and behavioral currents are suggested.
