Getting international teams to work

Abstract

Addresses cultural differences, stressing diversity should be seen as a benefit but that they are overlaid by inequalities within teams. Identifies eight contributory factors, offering guidance to team leaders on how to get to grips with them: cultural norms; individual behaviour; communication; leadership styles; group processes; inequalities; geographic separation; and difference and similarities between work‐based cultures. Sums up that international teams are not disconnected in some way from the organization in which they work.
