This week marks the kickoff of a brand new season of the Institute for Dispute Resolution’s “Connecting Bridges and Borders” podcast series. The IDR is honored to have the extremely accomplished Thomas Barat sit down with Professor Weiss to outline some ways in which businesses can work to increase cross-border communication.
Thomas Barat is a retired Professor of Communication who has written over 17 books on his area of expertise. He is also an experienced media journalist, the Editor in Chief of the eCCO Magazine and is currently the President of the American Hungarian Chamber of Commerce (AmHunCham), a position that takes the stage in this week’s podcast episode.
Thomas Barat and Professor Weiss dissect AmHunCham’s methods of cultivating cross-border relationships and even outline their task model.
Barat and Professor Weiss agree that Mediation and Public Relations are two key components in promoting strong communication between nations within businesses and organizations. As Barat puts it, “The Public Relations practitioner is a manager of the management,” which explains AmHunCham’s close relationship with the IDR, among other groups focused on mediation and inclusive cross-border conversations.
The Institute for Dispute Resolution at NJCU is a platform under the School of Business that seeks to promote international negotiation and mediation techniques to manage disputes in cross border commercial and general conflict resolution forums.
