| Tiivistelmä: | This study combines qualitative and quantitative data in order to answer the critical question, how is intercultural competence developed and spread in a multinational company (MNC)? This study suggests that the link between the existence of global teams and the performance of an international company is indirect: global teams help to develop intercultural competencies, which, in turn, contribute to performance. Intercultural interaction among the employees of a company, especially within global teams, provides the highest learning potential for intercultural competence. The results indicate that intercultural learning and the belief that cultural differences exist between nations are two different factors. The acquisition of intercultural competence in a MNC appears to be a process that is split up, for it is mostly based on individual learning. |
