ÇOK KÜLTÜRLÜ TAKIMLAR: YAŞANAN SORUNLAR VE ÇÖZÜM YAKLAŞIMLARI ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

Öz

Takımlar, iş dünyasının değişen dinamikleri ve ihtiyaçları çerçevesinde farklı formlarda ortaya çıkmaktadır. Günümüzde önem kazanan yeni bir takım çeşidi de, “Çok Kültürlü Takımlardır”. Bu takımlar değişen iş çevresinin bir sonucu olduğu gibi, aynı zamanda birçok stratejik avantajların elde edilmesi amacıyla ortaya çıkmaktadır. Her ne kadar bu takımlar büyük potansiyellere sahip olsalar da yaşadıkları sorunlar, bu takımların etkin ve başarılı olmasında büyük engel teşkil etmektedir. Özellikleri ve dinamikleri gereği birçok sorunla mücadele etmek durumunda olan bu takımlar iyi yönetildikleri takdirde iyi performans sonuçları doğurabilmektedir. Bundan dolayı bu takımların yaşadıkları sorunların bilinmesi ve çözülmesi, başarıları açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, özelikle bu takımların doğası ve özellikleri gereği ortaya çıkan sorunları ve bunlara karşı dikkate alınabilecek çözüm yaklaşımlarını incelemek ve değerlendirmektir
