| Abstract | The internationalization of Brazilian companies brings a new reality: the need for implementation of global projects. These, in turn, carry in their essence the challenge of managing multicultural teams. Being a recent phenomenon, with little theoretical development, this study aim to understand the relationships between cultural features and performance of project teams in global projects of Brazilian multinationals, in contexts of high and low cultural distance. Once these relations were identified, we tried to understand them in light of the teams management process. To carry out this discussion, we undertook a field study, with both quantitative and qualitative focus, of 34 global projects of 15 Brazilian multinationals, in which people from 22 countries took part. The results provided empirical evidence that there is an association between cultural characteristics and team performance, with femininity and hierarchical proximity being the standout. The first one would be more associated with low performance and culturally homogeneous teams. Hierarchical proximity is associated with high performance and culturally heterogeneous teams. These results show that individual and organizational intercultural competence gain importance. Final recommendations are made in order to help Brazilian multinational companies to manage their global teams and thereby achieve better results in their global projects. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
