Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate exploring the influence of cultural diversity on project team performance in international entrepreneurial ventures

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: In Pakistan, machine learning and dimension reduction techniques have been applied to analyze high-dimensional and complex data, including genomics, neuroimaging, and text data. These efforts have led to significant advancements in disease genetics, brain imaging, and text mining. While promising, challenges such as data quality and interpretability persist, underscoring the importance of continued research and collaboration in these fields.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Identity theory, Cultural intelligence theory & Hofstede's cultural dimensions' theory may be used to anchor future studies on exploring the influence of cultural diversity on project team performance in international entrepreneurial ventures. Implement diversity training programs and cross-cultural workshops to enhance cultural awareness and sensitivity among project teams in international entrepreneurial ventures. Advocate for policies and initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion in international entrepreneurial ventures, such as establishing diversity quotas or implementing diversity management programs.
