Komunikasi Antarbudaya Dalam Program Acara Sandya Kala Gita (Studi Komunikasi Hindu di Radio Genta Bali)

Intercultural communication aims at forming harmonious life, bringing together two or more people from different cultures to form a new culture. Trust or religion is part of culture. Intercultural communication can basically form a new culture. Mass media plays an important role in people's lives in the process of sending information and reciprocal processes. This paper examines how the intercultural communication process is delivered through Radio media. The process of intercultural communication in the program Sandya Kala Gita is seen as a transactional process that affects the behavior of communicators and communicants intentionally, aware of the behavior to produce messages that are channeled through channels to stimulate or obtain certain attitudes or behaviors. Intercultural communication on the Sandya Kala Gita program shows implications for the strengthening of cognitive communicants, the affective formation of communicators and communicants, and behavioral development for communicators and communicants.

Established and Emerging Decision Constructs – A Taxonomic Perspective

One might assume information systems (IS) are developed so systems enhance the user experience and facilitate a satisfying, productive interaction. From prior research, the authors established this assumption was not safe and certain design features amongst some online retailers were atypical of ‘good’ design elsewhere. It was apparent the transactional process was being used to present consumers with optional extras (and other decisions) that not only slowed the process down, but also stressed and agitated users. The research identified some new and unusual decision constructs such as the ‘must-opt’. The objective of the research presented herein is two-fold: to make an incremental contribution in first theorising and then identifying and categorising into a taxonomy some new decision constructs alongside established ones encountered throughout on-line Business-to-Consumer (B2C) transactional processes followed by a preliminary study confirming their existence and examining their clarity.
