摘要：The aim of this article is to explore the role and characteristics of communicative interaction in an intercultural context and, more specifically, within multicultural teams. To this end, after defining the concept of intercultural communication, highlighting its importance, and examining the main elements affecting it, this study concludes by stressing the importance of certain variables of verbal and non-verbal communication, production strategies and skills or attitudes necessary to perform a successful intercultural exchange in the working place. The article is part of a more exhaustive research action dealing with multicultural teams recently carried out in Spain and inserted within the 2003-2006 ICOPROMO Project (a Leonardo da Vinci programme sponsored by the European Commission).
