Abstract
The concept of a global village has been brought about by the rapid development of information technology, the global media and faster lower cost travel. We now know what is happening on the other side of the world. But does that make us a 'village'.? There are few shared values and limited intercultural understanding in today's business world. One of the challenges confronting business is how to succeed in a culturally diverse, interdependent business environment. This paper explores the significance of cultural diversity for business success and provides a framework for bringing about the necessary changes.
