To manage effectively across cultures the executives learn an easy method, giving them a framework to generically deal with cross cultural issues. It starts from an imaginary mental experiment where you are the monkey in a zoo – which is often the position a manager holds in a foreign culture. Executives then learn how to deal with this situation appropriately according to the five steps “Be Aware”, “Accept”, “Adapt”, “Adopt” and “Take Action”.
