This survey was completed a few years ago. If global executives were re-surveyed today, would the results be different? Why? A survey of more than 3,292 executives from around the globe rated countries from 1 to 10 on how well developed "intercultural understanding" is in their business commu¬ nities. The higher the score, the more highly developed the "cross-cultural competency" was perceived to be in that country.
