Introduction
In today's world, Global project management is a very important concept as it is relevant to
almost every industry sector. Basically, globalization is playing a very important role in the
Global project management processes. Because of the globalization interaction between the
people of different countries and cultures has been increased and also has witnessed a
"Projectification". The concept of global project management offers various challenges as well as
benefits to the company. This report is written with intent to find out the benefits and challenges
in Companies because of the cultural diversity. ESI International Company provides the training

projects learning to recognize the cultural differences. This Research report will include the

Research objectives
Because of the globalization and due to diversity in the countries various challenges as well as
opportunities have been faced by the companies in managing their projects. However, there are
many factors that make this concept a very challenging one. Management and coordination of
the Global projects is difficult because of the different time zone, different culture, different
language, distributed teams and distant locations. The purpose behind this study is to analyze the
challenges and opportunities faced by the company because of diversity at the workplace. This
study is also focusing more on the solutions to resolve the issues of global project management
(Shenhar & Dvir, 2007).
Research scope
With the development of the communication networks across the globe and accessing the new
market, knowledge, expertise has been the primary catalysts of global businesses. Global project
management is very beneficial for the people who want to invest in the international market.
Training is assumed to be the best part to solve the challenges faced during the project
management. The scope of this research project is to make organizations aware about the
challenges and how to resolve these challenges during the project management. Communication
is a very important part for managing the Global projects when the companies are working
together as a team. Some of the devices that used while doing Global projects are
videoconferencing, chats and phones which are totally opposite to the face to face
communication (Aarseth, Rolstadås, & Andersen, 2013).
