Abstract

Cross-cultural management challenges are prevalent in multinational companies operating across different regions of the world, including Africa. In Niger, a country with diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, these challenges are particularly pronounced. The analysis is based on a qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews with managers from several Pan-African companies operating in Niger. These interviews aimed at understanding their experiences and challenges related to cross-cultural management. The findings suggest that effective cross-cultural management strategies must be tailored to accommodate these cultural nuances, which can significantly impact organisational performance and employee satisfaction in Pan-African companies operating in Niger. Pan-African companies should develop culturally sensitive training programmes for their managers to better understand the diverse cultural contexts they operate within. Additionally, fostering a more inclusive corporate culture that respects multiple leadership styles could enhance cross-cultural management effectiveness.
