Cross-border communication, influence and able to handle various market types had lead to contribute to the success of organization. When there are various nationalities, they should be managed carefully. People from same nationalities are inclined towards each other. Few foreign nationals in an organization will not make a big difference. But a considerable group of the same nationalities may tend to aggravate tension among others. There may be more negative impacts by a group of same nationalities. A manager, should redesign strategies and the internal organizational thinking to respond to the external vendors. There are companies that have their off-shore offices in India, Philippines, and other Europe countries. When interacting with each other, be mindful in changing their communication levels to accommodate the offshore associates to understand them better.
