Leadership of Cultural Diversity: The impact of leadership<\/h4>\n

The aim of this dissertation of dr. Katja Raithel<\/a> is to understand how to manage cultural diverse teams in the best way and increase team performance in multinational organizations. Therefore, defining what kind of leader characteristics drives team performance and what leadership characteristics foster the positive outcomes of diversity in cultural diverse teams is the focus of the current dissertation. Despite the fact that some important research in leadership and cultural diversity in teams has been done, little is known about the influence of team leaders.<\/p>\n

Through globalization and internationalization organizations are becoming more and more diverse especially in terms of cultural background. Cultural diversity, therefore, is a critical factor for multinational organizations. Thus, we highlight the current key diversity initiatives in such a company, including several action fields of diversity management.<\/p>\n

The two empirical chapters in the dissertation adds to the understanding of leadership of cultural diversity. We investigate in instances of negative effects of cultural diversity and discuss how these can be managed.<\/p>\n
