Intercultural Management
World culture is a myriad of different ways of
creating the integrity without which life and business
cannot be conducted. There are no universal answers but
there are universal questions or dilemmas, and that is where
we all need to start [15].
The importance of intercultural management has
inspired researchers to examine the phenomena of
intercultural encounters and trying to find answers to what
makes them successful and how a person can act competent
and effectively in an intercultural environment. [16].
Intercultural management is a new area of research,
the importance of which is growing with progressing
globalization. It is of particular interest to global managers
who work for multinational corporations located in
different countries. It also offers platforms for managers
who work for diversified enterprises with plants and
branches in different locations that are not necessarily in
Dimensions of culture

The presented paper discusses contemporary trends in the arena of intercultural management and underlines the main concepts that
both academicians and corporations should focus on. As the workplaces become more diverse, culture and intercultural management
gain more importance. The importance stems from the fact that the present world is not a homogenous monoculture and the
organizations increasingly face two simultaneously evolving issues: a) the challenges presented when companies move to new, often
culturally different locations; and b) labor mobility that resulted in diverse workplaces where people from different cultural backgrounds
share their work experience. This presents a twofold challenge for companies and underlines the need to focus on intercultural
management. Bibl. 24 (in English; abstracts in English, Russian and Lithuanian).
