Today, globalisation is a business reality. The increase in technology has enabled organisations to connect teams/businesses across the globe and as a result, we are seeing an increasing number of distributed teams working cross-culturally.

With these changes come both benefits and challenges. - See more at: http://www.organisationsolutions.com/Resources/Strategy-Execution/Workplace-Transformation-and-the-Changing-Nature-of-Work#sthash.eaJ0mBQR.dpuf
