Since the U.S. culture is so widely dispersed via television, music, and the Internet, it is less necessary to conduct intercultural training for foreigners taking jobs in the U.S. than it is for U.S. nationals to receive intercultural training prior to foreign assignments.

Question

While it is true that American culture is widely dispersed, this does not mean that non-Americans automatically understand American cultural norms or expectations. Intercultural training can still be valuable in helping foreigners adjust to American workplace culture. On the other hand, U.S. nationals going abroad often face much greater cultural differences and therefore might require more extensive intercultural training before they depart.
