also able to understand intercultural effectiveness which helped in learning ways in which out
mindset react and behave at different stages. However, blog session 5 helped in learning that

adjusting to the changing environment globally. In this they can also be able to have an idea
about that how policies and code of conduct work when working in an international level
organization. when I understood that mindset is the fundamental factor in developing my
intercultural effectiveness (Appendix 2). I have also understood that This theory is very useful

understanding of this cultural theory will assist employees in reducing the miss-communication.
