Co-Culturing Frameworks: Approach Towards Transforming Organizational Culture for Excellence

Abstract

This research has considered the evaluation of a co-culturing framework as a strategic approach towards transforming organizational culture for excellence. The study aims to address the pressing need for effective cross-cultural integration and collaboration within multinational IT organizations, particularly those operating in the Netherlands. By examining existing co-culturing models and assessing their effectiveness, the research endeavours to provide valuable insights into the development and implementation of tailored frameworks for Indian employees working in the Dutch IT sector.

Drawing upon a structured research methodology, the study assesses the effectiveness of proposed models such as the Sandwich Model, DARTING Model, Handshake Model, Boolean Model, and L Shaping Model. Through quantitative and qualitative data collection methods, including structured questionnaires and content analysis, the research evaluates participants' perceptions, knowledge gain, and behavioural changes following the cultural awareness sessions on the implementation of these models.

The findings of this research shed light on the importance of fostering cultural awareness and bridging the gap between Dutch and Indian colleagues within the IT sector. By providing evidence-based recommendations for developing and implementing cultural frameworks tailored to the needs of Indian employees, this study contributes to enhancing collaboration, productivity, and organizational excellence in multinational IT organizations operating in the Netherlands.
