How to create a cohesive environment in multicultural organizations

Abstract

This article studies the multicultural organization from the perspective of MaBA (Maahanmuuttajat BisnesAkatemiassa). The article is written by Abdoulie Sarr (student) in collaboration with Arto Manninen (coach). According to research, the foundation on which every successful team is built must be based on trust, as it is an integral part of achieving our goals in having formidable teams. As defined by Dyer, “team building is an intervention conducted in a work unit as an action to deal with a condition (or conditions) seen as needing improvement” (Dyer 1977, p. 41). If anyone has an opportunity to ever work in a multicultural organization, they will notice that there is a need for building trust as the foundation of the team. With trust, commitment and absolute dedication to work, an organization can achieve its desired goals successfully.
