European J. of Cross-Cultural Competence and Management (EJCCM), Vol. 5, No. 3, 2021

Abstract: To cope effectively in diverse cultural contexts has become a necessity in the business world faced with contemporary challenges such as globalisation, internationalisation and multiculturalism. With the business environment being increasingly diverse, managers in multinational companies work across continents and time zones on global projects, connecting with colleagues spread out across the world. But what is it that enables individuals to interact effectively with representatives of other cultures? What skills are necessary for such interaction and how they can be trained in the academic setting? In an attempt to answer these questions this paper proposes the application of an action oriented method, focused on solving problems in a small group of multicultural learners, while developing their intercultural competences.
