Learning in a global cross-cultural work environment: refining the tools

New cross-cultural work settings are emerging as a result of globalisation. As a consequence, workers no longer operate inside the confines of their country cultures, but rather across cultures all across the world. The globalisation issue has spawned a growing amount of management literature that emphasises the rising necessity to prepare for such cross-cultural work situations. Foreign work assignments, often known as the 'expatriate experience,' are an example of one of the most intensive cross-cultural encounters. The purpose of this work is to investigate how expatriate adaptation happens in a cross-cultural context via the perspective of experiential learning. The example of expats working in an American firm's wholly owned subsidiary in India is examined in this paper. The findings of the study expand beyond the scope of the original study and provide valuable insights into the subject of organisational learning and knowledge management.
