    Cultural intelligence is the ability to relate to and work effectively in culturally diverse situations, which is vital for international businesses operating in different countries. Developing cultural intelligence between employees can boost corporate reputation and allow companies to adapt quickly to different environments, though it requires time and resources. Surveys have found that customized training programs specific to each company's needs are the most effective way to improve cultural intelligence. As the world becomes more globally connected, businesses must localize their international products and services to different cultures through strategies like adapting menus in various countries. Companies are increasingly aware of the importance of cultural intelligence but are still determining the best authentic practices for implementing it within their organizations.

    Cultural intelligence is the ability for people, organizations, and businesses to relate to

    culturally diverse situations and work effectively in them. It is a vital aspect to


    international businesses because every country they are based in requires a different
    cultural approach and the ability to get well with the consumers you are working with.
    Global collaboration has become a significant aspect for the success of businesses and
    this cannot occur if businesses do not have the resources, knowledge, and talents of
    cultural IQ.

    The development of cultural IQ between employees can be complicated, time-


    consuming, and costly. However, many argue that it is worth the investment because it
    boosts corporate reputation, achieves better results in cross-cultural organizations, and
    allows the company to adapt quickly to different environments. The Chartered Institute
    of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and the Society of Human Resource Management
    (SHRM) carried a survey in 2012 to find out what was the best method to enhance
    cultural intelligence within organizations and businesses. The result stated that
    customized programs were the highest ranked method which meant that the best
    approach was developing a program specific to an individual company’s needs and
    knowledge gaps. Also, companies are now looking for leaders and employees with high
    competencies when it comes to cultural IQ. For example, Coca-Cola’s high potential
    leader program requires that every participant is tested for cultural intelligence through
    the Cultural Intelligence Centre. It is important for businesses to know how well you
    interact and communicate with people different than yourself.

    With the increase of merging markets, businesses are being forced to make their
    international products adaptable to different local cultures in which they are sold. This
    process is called “glocalization” and in order to implement this, it is necessary that
    businesses have cultural intelligence. McDonald’s Corp. is the world’s largest restaurant
    chain and it operates in 119 different countries. That being said, McDonald’s implements
    different menus depending on the country it is operating in. For example, the
    restaurants operating in India have an extensive vegetarian menu. Also, America is one
    of the countries being faced with a rapid rise of Asian, Hispanic, and African-American
    populations which is making companies more aware of the importance to act and
    innovate differently depending on these multicultural groups.

    Companies are becoming more and more aware of the importance of cultural
    intelligence and are still figuring out the right ways to implement this. Supporting
    diversity associations, donating to non-profit service groups, and increasing their
    advertising to target customers are not authentic ways of implementing cultural
    intelligence.
