This year has turned out to be a surprisingly good one for the world economy. Global output has probably risen by close to 5%, well above its trend rate and a lot faster than forecasters were expecting 12 months ago. Most of the dangers that frightened financial markets during the year have failed to materialize. China’s economy has not suffered a hard landing. America’s mid-year slowdown did not become a double-dip recession. Granted, the troubles of the euro area’s peripheral economies have proved all too real. Yet the euro zone as a whole has grown at a decent rate for an ageing continent, thanks to oomph from Germany, the fastest-growing big rich economy in 2010.
The question now is whether 2011 will follow the same pattern. Many people seem to think so. Consumer and business confidence is rising in most parts of the world; global manufacturing is accelerating; and financial markets are buoyant. The MSCI index of global share prices has climbed by 20% since early July. Investors today are shrugging off news far more ominous than that which rattled them earlier this year, from the soaring debt yields in the euro zone’s periphery to news of rising inflation in China.
Earlier this year investors were too pessimistic. Now their breezy confidence seems misplaced. To oversimplify a little, the performance of the world economy in 2011 depends on what happens in three places: the big emerging markets, the euro area and America. These big three are heading in very different directions, with very different growth prospects and contradictory policy choices. Some of this divergence is inevitable: even to the casual observer, India’s economy has always been rather different from America’s. But new splits are opening up, especially in the rich world, and with them come ever more chances for friction.
Begin with the big emerging markets, by far the biggest contributors to global growth this year. Where it can, foreign capital is pouring in. Isolated worries about asset bubbles have been replaced by a fear of broader overheating. With Brazilian shops packed with shoppers, inflation there has surged above 5% and imports in November were 44% higher than the previous year.
Cheap money is often the problem. Though the slump of 2009 is a distant memory, monetary conditions are still extraordinarily loose, thanks, in many places, to efforts to hold down currencies. This combination is unsustainable. To stop prices accelerating, most emerging economies will need tighter policies next year. If they do too much, their growth could slow sharply. If they do too little, they invite higher inflation and a bigger tightening later. Either way, the chances of a macroeconomic shock coming from the emerging world are rising steeply. (449 words)

Managers must become proficient cross-cultural communicators if they wish to succeed in today’s global environment.

If you are working in a different culture, you may have to reconsider your communication (5) and evaluate its (6) .
A realistic (7) in one culture may not be so in another. One way to (8) what might be realistic is to analyze (9) psychologists call the "locus of control." People in some cultures (10) believe in " (11) control" over destiny—that is, that people can control events themselves. People in other cultures believe in "external control" over destiny—that is, events are (12) and uncontrollable. What (13) an appropriate time frame in one culture may not be achievable in another.

In the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. (51) some newly independent countries have understandably restricted most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, (52) increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to (53) outsiders to improve local facilities. (54) the Middle East has attracted oil-workers from the USA and Europe. It has brought in construction workers and technicians from many countries, (55) South Korea and Japan.
In view of the difficult living and working conditions in the Middle East, it is not (56) that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least (57) money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a major attraction. An allied benefit is the low taxation or complete lack of it. This increases the net amount of pay received by visiting workers and is very popular with them.
Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating advantage. (58) , the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other (59) safety and comfort. (60) , many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly (61) the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions (62) problems rather than do routine work in their home country.
One major problem which (63) migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be expected since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. (64) , migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the (65) financial benefits which they receive.
