Introduction:
There are numerous definitions of transculturality particularly in Cultural Studies. The focus of this article are transcultural aspects of managing operations of globalized organizations. In this context, transculturality is a concept paving the way for interaction among people from various cultural backgrounds. Its aim is to facilitate such interactions in order to produce general mutual advantage without the limitations set by national states or other cultural boundaries. Transcultural management is gaining increasing importance due to the globalization of markets, communication, technological progress and division of labor on a global scale, e.g. of what can be seen as the main drivers of transculturality nowadays. It is a way of bridging cultural differences through a social learning process and its aim is to facilitate intercultural cooperation and management.
