Preferences Towards Working in Culturally Diverse Teams at Different Stages of the Entrepreneurial Process

Abstract

As entrepreneurial teams become prevalent, it is important to study factors related to their creation and effectiveness. The goal of the current research was to analyze preferences towards working in a multicultural team (MCT) versus a single culture team (SCT) at different stages of the entrepreneurial process. The study involved students originating from various cultures with previous experience in both SCTs and MCTs as participants. The preference towards working in a multicultural team was found to be stronger during preliminary stages of an entrepreneurial process. On the other hand, realization and assessment was in turn more strongly related with the preference towards working in a single culture team. The relationship between these preferences and the declared level of previous experience obtained in an MSC, and an SCT was also investigated. Obtained results are used to indicate possible directions for future research. Keywords: Entrepreneurial Team, Team Diversity, Multicultural Teams, Entrepreneurial process
