Summary
The adverse change in technological advancement which leads to economic development, the economy has become more global as diverse workforce are working and communicating across culture. Technological development has changed the flow of information, communication and expertise around the world; it leads to the growing numbers of multinational corporations across culture (Schmidt et al, 2007). It means understanding that each personality is unique, and recognizing our individual differences These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.
