CROSS CULTURAL MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The international business has been experiencing the drastic changes in the growing
awareness regarding the cross-cultural management. The emerging challenges and rewards for
managing across both the national and international boundaries have been growing with time.
Cross cultural management is an essential component of international business (Lisak and Erez
2015). It generally refers to the accommodation of the cultural diversity practices while operating
in the outside countries. The study would focus on the conceptual analysis of culture and
business, cultures and MNCs, and culture and communication described in the article From
Cross-cultural Management to Global Leadership: Evolution and Adaptation. The study has
observed one thesis that concentrates on the impacts created by the cross culture communication
on the global leadership. The conceptual elaboration of the subject areas would provide the
enriched knowledge in this field that would develop some of the specific implications for the
future.
Concept of Global Leadership
Global leaders are conceptualized as the emerging professionals who are operating in the
multicultural and international context. According to Bird and Mendenhall (2016), the global
leaders always have a natural curiosity about the entire world and they take interests in people
with diverse traits. The article, on the other hand, defines the global leadership as the broader
aspects, which are developing the conceptual bases of many other significant global practices.
Global leadership is contextualized as the method of leading people from multiple regions of the
world (Shim and Steers, 2012). The major trait of a global leader is to engage the diverse group
of business stakeholders to meet the objectives of the organisations. They have the potentiality to

lead the people across culture, distance, time zone, and complex organizational structure. It is
essential for a global leader to develop the better understanding of the value added aspects for
maintaining the both the domestic and international location. The maintenance of the flexible
approaches and accomplishment of the business goals help the global leaders to take the big step
towards complex scenario. The article explores the historical evidence related to such specific
subject matter. Steers, Sanchez-Runde and Nardon (2012) pointed out that the cross cultural
practices have the clear impacts on the global leadership. The global leaders are much inclined
towards promoting the innovative working environment in which the people from diverse
cultural background would be involved. When the people from the different organisational
culture gather, it promotes the unique business approaches for accomplishing the determined
goals. It becomes much beneficial for the global leaders to develop the competitive edge in a
competitive business scenario.
The obtained ideas from the article identify the necessity of developing the team
collaboration that promotes the cross cultural communication practices more specifically.
Historical instance developed in the article refers the emergence of the intercultural
communications within the global organisation. Reiche et al. (2014) opined that the development
of the global leadership skills develops the higher level of intercultural communication, which is
an important aspect of global business. The global leaders determine the development of the
cross cultural scenario due to which they are even responsible for mitigating the conflicts. The
further studies would critically analyse the major factors that contribute to the global scenario in
a significant way.
