Question for you: What reasons cause managers to stay blind to the effect of cultural diversity?

Looking at cultural synergies
 
Synergy implies a "new way of thinking". Cultural synergy looks at developing new solutions to problems that influence the cultural differences among all cultures involved while respecting each culture’s distinctiveness. Synergy identifies the salient aspects of the cultural encounter (both positive and negative), but it also addresses how to manage the impacts of diversity, rather than trying to remove or disregard the diversity itself.

Question for you: how do you presently combine and balance the various cultural ways of working in your organization?
