Özet
The movement of people has almost become one of the most important points of social life since the beginning of human history. Migration is defined as a displacement between two locations. It is an individual process at the same time as it is a social, economic, cultural, and political phenomenon. In the literature reasons of migration explained broadly. Whatever the reasons for leaving from their country or regions or how they are met in the place they go, immigrants experience adaptation difficulties. The migration act is firstly considered as a displacement movement, but it is a fact that it has caused extensive changes on individuals and communities with its reasons and results. Acculturation can be seen as a migration problem for people who move to a new country. It means the cultural change process which an individual takes over in the wake of cultural contact. Being as a migration reality, acculturation draws attention based on the difficulties that international companies can be face in cultural side. International companies, which have gained importance especially with globalization, have caused different cultures to meet and connect with each other. This situation put forward the concept of acculturation. In this context, the effects of international migration phenomenon both on the individual and on the company appears as a subject to be examined in the focus of culture. Immigrants and also immigrant employees come up against migration-based problems related with their acculturation experience. With an emphasis on acculturation in terms of international companies, in this chapter, a conceptual review is made and suggestions are presented for companies to support them for preparing an ideal environment for the acculturation process of their employees. Moreover, it has tried to provide new insights for migration studies in the context of employee migration.
