Tiivistelmä
This thesis discusses the production process of R&B music, international project management, cultural differences, personality theories and communication in the context of the thesis project. One main focus is producing an EP for an international R&B project named F.U.N.C. during 2015-2017. The goal is to describe every step of the production process, planning and management, as clearly as possible.
The thesis examines communication, paying special attention to different personality theories, and points out some of the challenges in international projects like distance, language barriers, misunderstandings and budget. Source literature stated that Internet and its digital communication platforms have made international interaction more approachable for everyone. It has also opened new horizons of public access to education and cultural resources, which can influence wider groups of people than ever before.
The findings indicate that digital era has bridged the gap between different cultures and reshaped the way we think about cultural and national differences. For example, this project in itself is a creation of our time, and would have not been possible without the Internet. However, this research also yielded conclusions on how Internet has failed to sufficiently replace the traditional way of communication and how face-to-face intercourse is still holding its strong position in building trustworthy and long-lasting relationships – both in business and life.
