Transnational Organizations and Cross-Cultural Workplaces

Focusing on the dynamics of expatriate and host national interactions, this ethnographic study delves into cross-cultural relationships within transnational organizations. By applying concepts like cosmopolitanism and social capital, it examines the nuances of "closure" and "openness" in workplace connections. Grounded in a year of fieldwork in Indonesia, the author emphasizes the significance of mutual respect among employees, offering insights valuable to social science and international business scholars interested in professional migrations and cultural exchanges.
