Intercultural competence is surely one of the most widely touted outcomes sought through internationalization efforts of all types. One good example from Purdue University positions its intercultural openness initiative to prepare students for more diverse work environments. The concern addressed through the program is that work environments have already changed but educational systems have not made the shift. "An attitude of openness can help us become more willing to meet these issues. Leaders lacking this outlook of openness present real challenges to organizational performance as ineffective leadership may result in conflicts among employees as well as a disconnect with customers. Discovering new ways to develop openness is vital for the workforce."
