Impact of intercultural training on the development of intercultural competences

Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

Due to the increase in international mergers, acquisitions and cooperation; the HRM sees itself confronted with a challenge: more and more co-workers stemming from different horizons are brought to work together in multicultural contexts. Often, the differences in the methods of work and the styles of communication engender intercultural misunderstandings. This variety within companies incites the specialists in HRM to organize trainings to develop the intercultural competence of the coworkers. This article, of theoretical reach, comes to explain the impact of the intercultural trainings on the development and the learning of the intercultural competences. We shall at first attempt to define the intercultural competences and to explain how they can improve the quality of the cooperation within the multicultural companies. Then, we examine the process of intercultural learning. Finally, we concentrate on the development of these competences.
