When instituting organizational change, emphasizing the need for that change is vital to increase the chance of acceptance of the new alterations in approach. It must be communicated that an organization cannot succeed in a global environment if it is not diverse. Multinational departments and a diversity of employees, with a wide range of skills and knowledge spheres make the organization more flexible and responsive. If employees are aware of this fact, they will be more accepting. Transmitting examples of intercultural success stories is particularly essential as an organization adjusts to its multinational status.
Conclusions: Improvements in the current environment
Diverse organizations are stronger, after the initial adjustment period, and also are able to more effectively communicate to a wide range of consumers, internationally.

It has also spawned an entirely new segment of the economy: In 1985, there were no home-delivery pizza joints in Japan; today, there are over 3,000 and the industry has grown to over $1.4 billion (Frasca 2010:1).
This is an ideal example of intercultural communications: an effective multinational agreement between corporate headquarters and a local innovator, and the willingness to use his information to adapt to the local environment. Communication within the organization leads to better communication with customers.
