As the pace of globalization accelerates, multinational companies face unprecedented cross-cultural challenges in their operational management and strategic decision-making. This paper aims to explore how enterprises can optimize their operational management and strategic decision-making through a cross-cultural perspective in the context of globalization. Initially, the article reviews the relevant theories of globalization and cross-cultural management, including Hofstede's and Trompenaars' cultural models, and their applications in practical operations. Subsequently, it analyzes the impact of globalization on supply chain management, production processes, quality control, and market strategies, and showcases successful cross-cultural operational management practices through case studies. Additionally, the article discusses the importance of cross-cultural communication, leadership, and team building, as well as the role of information technology in cross-cultural decision-making. Finally, the paper points out the challenges and future trends faced by global operational management and strategic decision-making, emphasizing the critical role of cross-cultural management in achieving global success. The research findings of this paper have significant theoretical and practical guiding significance for multinational companies in their operational management and strategic decision-making under the context of globalization.
