Abstract

The Globalization era has transformed the world and international integration has risen from the interchange of world’s outlook, products, ideas, and culture. Due to Globalization many MNCs have increased their investments worldwide. After the advent of “Information Technology”, learning the Cross-cultural diversity became easy and more interpretable compared to the manually written article, because it contains visual, audio and text, and can be converted into one’s own language, as well. In this context, the objectives of the study are divided into two parts. i.e. i) to investigate an application/usage of Information Technology in learning of cross-cultural diversity, ii) to analyze the Perception of Indian Expatriates on Cross-cultural diversity and learning through information technology. The perception of the respondents was examined with the use of statistical tools like percentage, measure of central tendency, chi-square test etc. Though this study, we reveal that learn the culture, language, social t and political environment of any country is equally important for different age group, gender, income and qualified (educated) group of people. It has been proved in the hypothesis testing where, 5% significance value, i.e. a= 0.05 are taken. The probability value (p-value) was always greater than its significant value in almost every case. To analyze the perception of Indian Expatriates on learnt the Cross-Culture Diversity though Information Technology provided positive result. The data reveal that average response of the respondent was closest to 5- and 4-point scale. It implies that technology help to NRI in learning the cultural diversity of the host country.
