A Model for using ICT for Poly-Cultural Process Orientation of Itinerant Employees

When we talk about doing business in a global context we often overlook aspects of cross cultural dimensions and focus on profitability and expansion of the business off-shores. However many businesses have found out in the hard way that cultural dimensions cannot be overlooked and written off as minor quirks. As culture can deeply impact businesses, we need to learn about the how and why of social, corporate, ethics and other societal aspects of the new operational environment before we embark upon our journey of business there. As many organizations have few key people who need to be always it inerant between countries and interact with people from different cultures, training them for a different cultural context becomes highly essential. In this paper a model has been presented which can be used to orient such itinerant employees for their future cross cultural rendezvous.
