Many organizations international firms, multinational companies and those who are now going global require their managers to work across borders. Consequently, organizations increasingly need managers who have the know-how to quickly become culturally fluent and who can react in a way that is culturally appropriate. Specifically, global managers need to be able to work with multiple cultures and in multinational teams.
However, the challenge of global management effectiveness becomes even more difficult when managers spend shorter periods in any single place and are frequently moved from one location to another. As a result, their country-specific knowledge becomes less relevant. According to authors Earley and Peterson, the traditional approach used in intercultural training is no longer effective enough for todays global manager. They propose a model, based on the elements of cultural intelligence (CQ), to better prepare global managers to be effective in various intercultural settings.
Cultural Intelligence the capacity to gather, interpret and behaviorally adapt to cultural contexts.
