What are the popular research topics in cross-cultural management? Please recommend some. Thank you.
To check for a good research topic, I suggest you do the following:
1. Choose a number of peer-reviewed research papers related to, say, cross-cultural management, from Google Scholar or similar credible websites, not from any non-credible source such as Google, etc.
2. Read these research papers and check for the research gaps from within such research. You may find these gaps under the subtitle, Future Research or similar subtitles.
3. Ensure that such gaps are not covered by recent research. That is, for the gap that you want to cover, read to the last current research in this regard to make sure that no other author(s) already conducted such research.
4. Then, go ahead and start preparing for your research, preferably using the Literature Review Matrix where you put a table showing authors, title, objectives, research question(s), problem statement, variables, methodologies used, findings, etc. for each research paper selected. By the way, you may want to keep such relevant research papers to use them as references in your research.

Instead of looking for "popular" research topics in CC Management which have been amply covered, you should seek out topics for which there are gaps in our understanding, or emerging topics which you can help to advance, such as the impact of migration on CC management. As another respondent has said, this will require a lot of prior reading, but it's the only way to be sure that your subject is worth spending a chunk of your life investigating! All the best to you.
My suggestions are largely predicated on further exploration of the cultural diversities among majlr ethnic nationalities in Nigeria, with specific reference to the Igbos in southeast of Nigeria, and the Yorubas in southwest of Nigeria. Similarly a comparative study of the major ethnic nationalities in Nigeria and in Ghana. The major areas of research interests include:
i. Cultural traits and personalities of individuals and the influence on entrepreneurial effectiveness
ii. Business apprenticeship scheme and poverty reduction
iii. Cultural dimensions to time management as a most perishable asset.
