Introduction
When an international organisation expands the operations to a new overseas location the organisation culture and the over time culture of the host region plays a major part in its success. The cultural difference between an organisation and its host environment needs to be critically harmonised for the attainment of sustainable cordial relationship and trust between both parties.
