Abstract

A major concern while handling multi-cultural projects in Information Technology (IT) organization is the large number of differences that exist amongst team members. These differences exist in various forms such as diversity in languages, orientations, educational background, sex, personal beliefs and cultural or ethnical differences. Since most projects in IT organizations are scheduled to be undertaking within a time boundary and sometimes with constrained budgets by these same mixture of experts (irrespective of their differences) then, there is need to promote unison, empathy, professionalism, equity and sense of belonging amongst them to enable them (team members) overlook their individual and collective differences while functioning in their respective tasks to achieve management desired goals of time and quality. Otherwise failure to foster these necessary team qualities, the whole project may suffer delay, fail to complete as scheduled or even in some cases fail totally. In this respect, this review work examined the plausible ways of forming effective teams in a multi-cultural project environment. Supported by previous works in this area, the review presents the essentials for team formation as it applies in better management of multicultural projects, the potency of cultural differences, examination of prominent problems of multi-cultural IT projects and concludes on a critical analysis of suggested solutions raised to solve the problems.
