- W292450485 abstract "Accepting a definition of culture as total accumulation of an identifiable group's beliefs, norms, activities, institutions, and communication patterns, this paper, in an extensive literature review, conjectures that the environment has a far-reaching impact on the performance of the foreign student in the United States. The paper notes that a negative or hostile environment can affect the individual's ability to communicate effectively and that this failure of communication may lead toward entropy within the individual. Applying the findings in organizational and intercultural communication literature to the experiences of foreign students (notably Africans) on American campuses, the paper presents two perspectives on organizational entry: the organizational and the individual's perspectives. According to the paper, the newcomer who is an active-player type readily immerses himself/herself into existing cultural networks and through these taps into the basic assumptions, norms, and sense-making mechanisms of the new environment. The paper notes that, all other things being equal, most of the sojourners who emigrate are active-players in the host environment. Echoing a study of J. P. Wanous (1976) which suggested the need to examine the dynamics of organizational entry, socialization, assimilation (or exit) from the perspective of the individual, the paper sees the point of entry into another culture or organization as a clash of cultures. The paper concludes that, ultimately, it is the individual involved in the transition who makes the decision as to which of the two cultures wins. Contains a figure and 71 references.
