A Review of the Literature on the Relationships between Cultural Intelligence and Cross-cultural Adjustment in International Business

Abstract

By removing barriers like geography, economy, and social and cultural norms, globalization is a social process that will bind all nations and countries closer together. In this age of globalization, it is crucial for people to be able to communicate across cultural boundaries (cross-cultural adjustment). Cross-border corporate operations are significantly impacted by the pandemic's arrival, the expansion of global virtual teams, and the impact of the internet. As a result, more research is needed to clarify the variables that have a significant impact on GVTs and the significance of social media. This paper's goal is to review recent developments in the fields of cross-cultural adjustment and cultural intelligence (2002-2022). At the conclusion of this paper, the author will make suggestions for additional research on the subject.
