Business Ethics and Multiple Intelligences in International HRM
To meet the global challenges of effective Transcultural Human Resource Leadership, it is asserted that the task of the cosmopolitan HR Manager in the future will focus on more than just acquiring a few words of a foreign language to bolster entrenched Western management styles. Instead Transcultural HR Leaders would need an authentic interest in the alternative management models of other cultures so that they can diplomatically manage tensions, contradictions, and the business of ethics, which all together signify the ultimate test of their ability to cope with the ambiguity of IHRM in today’s changing New World Order.

Task:
Critically discuss the above assertion, with a view to determining whether or not when crossing cultural, national, functional, and business unit lines, the “Business Ethics and Multiple Intelligence” integrated approach to human relations is an essential, irreplaceable ingredient for effectively appreciating (i.e. building trust/respect/reciprocity) and managing international employees within the global organisational milieu that we now live in.
