概要	The ability to communicate interculturally is considered a primary attribute in people conducting business globally. Recent studies suggest that training in ethnographic techniques helps people develop intercultural communication competence. Ethnographers are trained toobserve and attempt to understand cultural “others” carefully. Two research questions were posed: “How do the business practitioners use ethnographic techniques to understand the “culturally similar” others?Moreover, “How does the pandemic situation influence their efforts?” The data demonstratethe participants’ use of persistent observation, working hypotheses building, data validation by peer debriefing and triangulation, and their application of the findings to their practice.
