What Cultural Qualities Are Important to Consider in a Global Application of the Concept?

The field of cross-cultural management brings forward the awareness of cultural differences in managerial practices (Hofstede, 2001; Lane et al., 2000). Considering Diversity Icebreaker® in different cultures, we see similarities with what should be expected due to similarities in individual and collective value systems, meaning that the prevalence of red correlates with collectivism (Ekelund et al., 2009). Concerning the seminar experiences, in African contexts, no significant cross-cultural challenges have been reported after 35 seminars in 14 different African countries (Canney-Davison et al., 2016). In the Scandinavian context, the Diversity Icebreaker® contributes to individuals standing out positively, expecting to be included based on their unique contribution and being respected for voicing their perspectives in discussions. In more authoritarian societies, we may expect that participants will be more restrained by the leader’s explicit and implicit norms. In more individualistic societies, we may expect the qualities of awareness of others (Arieli et al., 2018) and the need for others to solve complex problems to be potential benefits. These are questions for further research.
