Summary: | As business becomes more globalized and human resources are increasingly diversified, international teamwork represents the challenge for the future and a prime source of competitive advantage. Very few organizations are able to operate entirely within one national boundary. This emerging environment has given rise to international managers who are the key figures in integrating the individuals and cultures which make up an international team. In order to take advantage of these cross-functional, multinational teams, managers need to have a strong global sense but nevetheless need to be sensitive and responsive to local markets.
