This work describes the creation and first application of an approach for facilitating intercultural, interdisciplinary meetings. 'The JOIN Principle', or JOIN, for short is mainly based on the Theme-Centred Interaction (TCI) and Reteaming methodology. Highlights of this work are the extensive, integrated literature element on culture, communication, and organisational dynamics, as well as one of the few analyses of current literature on TCI in the English language. Additionally, the TCI group phase model by Angelika and Eike Rubner, including associated fears and wishes in each phase of the group development, are first published here in the English language. The description of JOIN is enriched with examples and guidelines on how to use this thesis as a handbook for the application of the principle. Finally, five intercultural, interdisciplinary workshops were conducted with JOIN and the data collected is analysed and documented in the work at hand. The conclusion and outlook chapter summarises the results, including personal quotations from the hiring executives of the workshops, and provides suggestions for future research.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte
Die vorliegende Masterarbeit befasst sich mit der Entwicklung und ersten Anwendung eines Ansatzes zur Moderation von interkulturellen und interdisziplinären Meetings. Das Ziel der Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines praktikablen und wissenschaftlich fundierten Ansatzes, der die Effizienz von Meetings in heterogenen Gruppen steigern soll. Der Ansatz, genannt „JOIN“, basiert auf den Prinzipien der Themenzentrierten Interaktion (TZI) und der Reteaming-Methode. Die Arbeit analysiert die relevanten Aspekte von Kultur, Kommunikation und Organisationsdynamik sowie die spezifischen Herausforderungen interkultureller und interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit.
- Interkulturelle Kommunikation und die Bedeutung von kulturellen Unterschieden für die Interaktion in Gruppen
- Die Rolle von Sprache, Ethik und Werten sowie Konflikten in interkulturellen Settings
- Die Dynamik von Gruppen und Teams in organisationsbezogenen Kontexten
- Die Bedeutung von Moderation und die Rolle des Moderators in interkulturellen und interdisziplinären Meetings
- Die Anwendung und Evaluation des JOIN-Ansatzes in fünf verschiedenen Workshops
Zusammenfassung der Kapitel
Die Arbeit beginnt mit einer Einführung in das Thema und beleuchtet die Motivation für die Entwicklung eines neuen Moderationsansatzes. Anschließend wird das Konzept der Kultur und Diversität im Kontext der Arbeit definiert. Kapitel 2 analysiert die verschiedenen Aspekte von Kultur und Kommunikation, die für interkulturelle Begegnungen relevant sind, wie Sprache, Ethik, Werte, Konflikte und Interaktionsmuster. Kapitel 3 setzt den Fokus auf Organisationsdynamik und untersucht die spezifischen Herausforderungen von Gruppen und Teams in interkulturellen Settings. Es wird zudem die Rolle der Moderation in Management und Führung beleuchtet.
Kapitel 4 analysiert verschiedene Ansätze zur Moderation von interkulturellen Meetings und erläutert die Auswahl der beiden Grundprinzipien, auf denen JOIN basiert: Themenzentrierte Interaktion (TZI) und Reteaming. Kapitel 5 stellt den JOIN-Ansatz im Detail vor, inklusive der einzelnen Schritte des Moderationsprozesses, der Vorbereitung und der Nachbereitung. Es werden auch die wichtigsten Prinzipien von JOIN sowie die potenziellen Risiken der Anwendung beleuchtet.
Kapitel 6 dokumentiert die empirische Evaluation von JOIN in fünf verschiedenen Workshops. Die Teilnehmer dieser Workshops wurden mit einem Fragebogen zu ihren Erfahrungen mit JOIN und der Moderation befragt. Die Ergebnisse der Evaluation werden analysiert und es werden Empfehlungen für weitere Verbesserungen des Ansatzes gegeben.
Das letzte Kapitel fasst die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse der Arbeit zusammen und bietet einen Ausblick auf zukünftige Forschungsaktivitäten.
