Abstract: | Organizations contend with growing diversity in their managerial and professional ranks, both cross-nationally and intranationally. This article examines the similarities and differences in processes and dynamics of managing diversity in cross-national and intranational contexts. Similarities include the acculturation process and styles and patterns of communication. Differences revolve around legislation, magnitude, and time horizon. Training programs to raise consciousness/ awareness and to improve communication competency are presented. The implications for human resource management are discussed. |
