IV International Russian Communication Association Conference:
"Communication Studies Today: The Crossroads Of The Disciplines" 

June 9th to 13th, 2008, Moscow, Russia

Alicia Wanless, Executive Director of International Perspectives, will be presenting at the Fourth Annual Russian Communication Association Conference. Ms. Wanless' presentation, entitled “Reaching Western Investors: The Value of Effective Communication” will consider the challenges Russians face in successfully disseminating their messages to relevant government and corporate counterparts in order to either attract investment from abroad or offer their products on Western/Canadian markets.  Based on past experience working with Russian businesses, trade organizations and various officials Ms. Wanless will identify several problematic message patterns that have unsuccessfully engaged Westerners in the past. Offering alternative approaches to enhancing communication and message dissemination for Russian business-people and officials, including “soft” approaches, different methods other non-English speaking nations have successfully employed will be introduced. Drawing from a successful career as a business analyst and international practitioner, Ms. Wanless will assist Russian businesses and officials in identifying and recognizing different means by which they can “win the hearts and minds” of potential investors, partners and/or consumers.
