Chapter 4 in Global Collaboration: Intercultural Experiences and Learning, 2012, pp 59-76 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Global collaboration, the focus of this volume, is a crucial success factor in international business (for a summary see also Ng, Van Dyne & Ang, 2009b). Global interactions occur in many day-to-day business operations and especially when managers are assigned to foreign locations for business travel or longer periods of time (see, for example, Earley & Mosakowski, 2004; Littrell et al ., 2006). Successful collaboration in these interactions is a complex and demanding task, requiring mutual and profound intercultural understanding by the parties involved. This understanding is the result of intense cultural learning processes (Waxin & Panaccio, 2005).
