Multicultural Competence Training Programs to Equip Project Managers for Cross-Cultural Projects

Abstract

This research explores the selection process for multicultural competence training programs to equip project managers for cross-cultural projects. Guided by theoretical frameworks, including Bennett’s Developmental Model, Sue’s Multidimensional Model, Hofstede and Minkov’s Cultural Dimensions Model, Helmreich and Merritt’s Cultural Intelligence Framework, and Henrie and Sousa’s Cultural Competence Model, the study examines intercultural sensitivity, multidimensional cultural competence, cultural dimensions, cultural intelligence, and the dynamic nature of cultural competence.
