| Abstract: | With the rise of globalized business practices, companies have expanded internationally, leading to a rise of intercultural workplace collaboration. Multicultural individuals present high levels of divergent thinking, flexibility and adaptability. Nevertheless, there are challenges rooted in cultural differences and virtual collaboration such as team cohesion, role ambiguity and synergy impacting team effectiveness and overall performance. Unlike technical sectors, the entertainment industry is driven by creativity. It requires a team to think and collaborate strategically, be flexible and highly adaptable to the environment forces. There is a need to address this area of virtual multiculturism, considering the impact of a company´s culture and overarching factors on daily communication, team dynamics and leadership styles for cross-cultural virtual team performance. |
