Abstract
Part of symposium: The Path Forward in Global Work: Examining and Leveraging Dynamics in Cross-Cultural Collaboration
While past research places heavier emphasis on comparing differences among cultures, this symposium explores the dynamics arising from interactions among different cultures and sheds light on their implications for organizations increasingly engaged in global work. Across a series of studies, the papers in our symposium show that the dynamics in cross-cultural interaction are influenced by various factors across different levels of analysis. Additionally, we find that the barriers posed by cross-cultural may be lessened if organizations implement effective communication strategies. Together, this research provides nuance to cross-cultural interactions and suggests a path forward for how organizations may leverage diverse cultural perspectives presented by cross-cultural collaborations in global work.
