Abstract

Acceptance and upkeep throughout the past two decades, the beneficial features of cultural convergence of business organisations have received a lot of attention. The challenges and dangers that come with managing culturally diverse workgroups have not been properly addressed. There is a need for practising managers to grasp when and when mono- and multi-cultural organizations are best. This article analyses key empirical findings that may be used to create effective cultural diversity strategy paradigms in the workplace. The complexity of an increasingly dynamic workplace require a search for new methods to behaviour management. Traditional paradigms that put an undue focus on production and profitability may be inadequate to understand the complexity of the future multi-cultural business. It would be a positive step forward if greater emphasis is put on the growing trend toward non-hierarchical, egalitarian, and flat organisational structures. Above all, a community that welcomes and appreciates the possibilities and challenges that come with a diverse workforce is essential.
