Abstract Organizations have to contend with growing diversity in their managerial and professional ranks, both cross‐nationally and intranationally. This article examines the similarities and differences in processes and dynamics of managing diversity in cross‐national and intranational contexts. Similarities include the acculturation process and the styles and patterns of communication. Differences revolve around legislation, magnitude, and time horizon. Training programs designed to raise consciousness/awareness and to improve communication competency are presented. The implications for human resource management practices are then discussed. © 1993 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
