Abstract: This case study research combines qualitative and quantitative data in order to answer the critical question, how is intercultural competence developed and spread in a multinational company? This study also 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; they, 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. Long-time interaction, care and conflict characterize global teams. These characteristics permit learning to result from intercultural interaction.
