Abstract
The chapter presents a cogent survey of available literature on Multicultural Organizational Development Model, establishes its objectives, state its benefits, and establishes the procedural schematics for successful implementation. The authors have used the case study methodology to meet the objective of this chapter as it is considered useful in capturing first-hand experiences of people and occurrences in their natural environment. The authors have also conducted document analysis, and semi-structured interviews with employees as well as top management and other stakeholders involved to capture responses. This research shows the need for large, multi-disciplinary international universities to attempt internalizing the MCOD model and usher in changes that will transform them into hubs of diversity and multi-culturalism. The study also suggests that a planned and structured intervention with optimal acceptance of the top administration has the highest possibility of success.
