Abstract
In today’s globalized world, effective management of international teams is one of the critical success factors for multinational companies. However, cross-cultural differences often become a source of misunderstandings, conflicts, and reduced productivity. This article analyzes managers’ main challenges when working with international teams and suggests methods for overcoming them. The research aims to identify the vital cross-cultural barriers and examine approaches to managing international teams to improve their effectiveness. The study is based on a comparative analysis of literature, case studies from international companies, and intercultural models (Hofstede, Trompenaars). As a result, recommendations are provided for improving interaction between team members from different cultures.
