A manager with high cultural intelligence and who takes a collaborative approach to global management practices has a polycentric attitude.

A polycentric attitude in management refers to the belief that local managers in the host country know the best practices for running their operations, and it does not necessarily imply a high level of cultural intelligence or a collaborative approach to global management. A manager with high cultural intelligence and a collaborative approach is more likely to adopt a geocentric attitude, which integrates global and local perspectives.
