Impact of Cross Culture Training on Business Due Diligence in the Corporate Sector - A Diagnostic Study
Keywords:
Organizational Effectiveness, Cross Cultural Training, Misunderstandings.Abstract
The definition of organizational effectiveness has changed drastically over the last decade. Operating in a global environment throws up unfamiliar challenges. The people are unfamiliar, and, their work ethics are unfamiliar. Once these gaps are delicately bridged, business synergy would become a practical reality. The result: a rising interest in cross cultural training for employees.
Cross cultural training programs aim at bringing an awareness of the cultural differences and prepare individuals and groups to interact with business associates across borders more effectively. The impact of culture shock is reduced and conflicts due to misunderstandings are avoided.
