This managerial project investigates the impact of cross-cultural working on Caltex Petroleum, a prominent Australian petroleum brand. The project aims to understand the challenges and opportunities associated with managing a diverse workforce in a globalized business environment. By examining the specific case of Caltex's operations in South Africa, the project will explore how cultural differences influence employee behavior, communication, and overall organizational performance. The research will utilize a combination of secondary data analysis from academic journals, industry reports, and government sources, as well as primary data collected through surveys and interviews with Caltex employees. The findings will provide insights into the importance of cross-cultural awareness and sensitivity in managing a global workforce, and offer recommendations for Caltex to enhance its cross-cultural management practices.
