This article aims at exploring the challenges that cross-cultural divergences engender for communication within multinational organizations. Global organizations do, in fact, tend to share multicultural values. However, in order to prevent misunderstanding and conflicting attitudes, the attendants’ cultural dissimilarities must be managed quite delicately. The implications of such challenges will be explored by evaluating conflicts between national identities and global values, investigating the intricate nature of transnational coalitions, examining the importance of multicultural intelligence for organizational relationships, and analyzing the potential disruptions of cultural divergences. Consequently, in order to lessen the difficulties that their cultural differences may produce, the members of transcultural organizations ought to prevent cultural clashes and foster intercultural harmony.
Keywords: challenges, intercultural divergences, transnational organizations.
