%X This paper examines the influence of cultural dimensions on business communication between companies in the East and West, focusing on a comprehensive case study of Maya and North American development teams. In light of globalization and the growing necessity for effective cross-cultural communication, the study identifies prevalent challenges and recommends strategies to enhance intercultural understanding and cooperation. The case analysis interprets communication barriers through Hofstede¡¯s cultural dimensions, emphasizing the significance of active listening, direct communication styles, and regular checkins to cultivate trust and operational effectiveness. Key findings emphasize the importance of acknowledging cultural differences, improving interdisciplinary collaboration, and expanding research on cultural diversity, particularly in emerging markets and developing nations. The research concludes that by implementing targeted training programs and tools, and monitoring cultural transformations due to globalization, organizations can greatly enhance intercultural communication, resulting in improved collaboration and success in multicultural environments.
