Global web design and the dimensions of culture When a company decides to globalise its site, the web team often learns the taboo colors and appropriate dress codes of a given culture, translates the text, and launches. But cultural differences run deeper than visual appearance or language; they reflect strong values. Rarely do globalised sites incorporate the nuances of a culture's social hierarchy, individualism, gender roles, time-orientation, or truth-seeking attributes. Conducting international usability As business on the web matures, organisations increasingly pay attention to the first two Ws in WWWWorld Wide. Companies with international sales offices crave a distinct web presence in each locale to demonstrate seriousness in that local market. Multi-national companies often use intranets to unify global teams. Maintaining global consistency requires centralising these web efforts (usually within corporate headquarters), yet this must accommodate distinct approaches to working which vary from region to region. User testing is a valuable tool in such situations, but how does one conduct user tests internationally? Culture and websites: not believing in Aaron Marcus's dimensions of culture and global web design Internationalization has become a very popular topic around web design. Designers are becoming more aware of the global scale of websites and are taking into account different language character sets, date formats and currencies. The more subtle effects of culture, however, are less evident.

Whether or not the United States recognizes or has diplomatic relationships with another country is determined by the President with the consent of the Congress. The State Department is the agency of the US government that is responsible for advising and establishing the diplomatic representation in a foreign country. Thus American embassies and chanceries are designed, built and operated by the State Department. Once the nature of the relationship has been set, various other agencies of the United States government, such as Foreign Trade missions, Department of Defense or Department of Commerce, may establish their presence in the country. While ambassadors are political appointees, other members of the embassy staff are career diplomats. They are officially members of the diplomatic corps. The State Department has a division known as the Foreign Service Institute which is under the direction of the Under Secretary for Management. The FSI provides a wide range of service to employees of the State Department and other Federal agencies, to American citizens, and to foreign citizens with specific interests or dealings with the United States.

Building Bridges by Kirsten Wile Faculty And Students Of Architecture Schools At The U And At A University In Argentina Are Building Bridges Today For Joint Ventures Tomorrow Faculty and students of the U's Graduate School of Architecture assemble in front of a large projection screen and computer terminal for a video-conference with three U students studying in Argentina as part of the school's International Academic Exchange. Professors Robert Hermanson and Julio Bermudez, with architecture student Cecilia Parera and Graduate School Dean William Miller (l to r) on exchange in Santa Fe, Argentina. A deep appreciation for Latin culture and a five-inch binder packed with slides aren't all that U architecture professor Robert Hermanson brought back from his semester teaching in Argentina. He also carries with him a fresh perspective that will affect his future research, his class lectures, and his curriculum. "An experience like this enriches in a covert way," he says as he catalogues the unforgettable moments and observations that have led to his rethinking of architectural and educational norms. Hermanson is one of several U professors and students of the Graduate School of Architecture who have taken advantage of an International Program for Academic Exchange with one of Argentina's oldest universities, Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL). All architecture students at the U are encouraged to spend time studying overseas and exchanges to Japan and Germany are also available. But the Utah-UNL exchange is unique in that it also involves the exchange of faculty, resources, and knowledge between the two schools, enriching the diversity and breadth of the teaching and curricula at both.
