Which of the following 4 intervention strategies used to manage multicultural teams should be
attempted LAST after considering and/or attempting the other intervention options?
O Exit
O Adaptation
Structural Intervention
O Managerial Intervention
To structure multicultural teams, Separation emphasizes
one subgroup dominates the creation of norms, social structure, and the direction of the team
O the mixing of different cultural/personal approaches into a coherent, unique, stable approach
preserving different approaches, retaining tensions, and is characterized by dynamic shifts in procedural
approaches, careful arrangement of subgroups, and/or careful introduction of alternative norms
O encouraging members to take the time to be aware of cultural differences and reach common
understanding
Benefits: efficiency and reduced process
conflict Downsides: can reduce creativity
and learning unless there is high prosocial
use of status/power differences
Benefits: simplified and cohesive norms,
roles, expectations, and shared
identity Downsides: may take time to
develop unless strong efforts to foster are
taken
Benefits: maintains and leverages cultural
differences; does not take as long as
assimilation approach; enhances creativity
and learningDownsides: can be difficult to
manage without 'culturally metacognitive
members; potential synergies are lost
without careful management of subgroup
boundaries
