Multinational Managers: Spotting the Difference Between Locals and Global Citizens
The new breed of "global citizen" is puzzling for multinational
managers. When posted to new territories, managers who are trained to
accommodate cultural differences often find co-workers do not fit the
stereotype. New research uncovers a more nuanced landscape where many –
but not all – employees eagerly "acculturate" to working for a foreign
company. Risks are both in imposing an organisation's home culture or
going too far with localising by adapting to the host country's ways.
And, from learning to expect the unexpected, benefits may extend across
the whole company.
