In today’s increasingly interconnected world, professionals are expected to collaborate with colleagues, clients, and partners from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. As organizations continue to expand internationally, understanding how to navigate cultural differences has become an essential management skill.
In the latest episode of our video series, we speak with Professor Virginia Drummond, professor and DBA mentor at PSM.
Teaching Strategic Management and Human Resource Management, she reflects on the inspiration behind her book Le management interculturel and discusses its relevance for today’s workplace.
Inspired by her own international experience, Professor Drummond shares how her desire to help people work more effectively across cultures led her to develop practical tools and frameworks for navigating multicultural environments.
She also discusses why the ability to understand and collaborate with people from different backgrounds is more important than ever in modern organizations.
Professor Drummond also reflects on the evolution of Le management interculturel since its first publication. Now in its ninth edition, the book has been regularly updated to reflect the changing realities of the business world while remaining focused on its original purpose: helping professionals better understand the challenges and opportunities of working across cultures.
As workplaces become increasingly global, intercultural management helps strengthen communication, collaboration, and mutual understanding among diverse teams.
