  Business in the global context calls for an understanding of diversity and cross-cultural concerns and issues that need to be carefully addressed to ensure that organizations function effectively. Culturally Intelligent organizations are those that completely realize cultural differences and reflect upon ways in which they may be able to function effectively across international boundaries. The present paper aims to deliberate upon the recent developments in the domain of Cultural Intelligence critically analyzing the challenges faced by such organizations in training their employees in becoming culturally intelligent while incorporating trust engagement, influence, authenticity and positive intent variables towards culturally synergistic solutions.
