Last two and a half decades, economic growth theory has expanded the list of fundamental development processes to include not only income but also human capital, demographic transition, technology/urbanization, institutions and economic integration. Some of these processes are closer to be the main causal backbone of economic development than others. One major characterization of economic development is the cross-culture adjustment. This paper explores the impact of cross culture adjustment towards economic growth from year 2017 until 2019 by employing the ARDL bounds testing approach to cointegration and Error Correction Model (ECM) for the short run relationship. Through this study, hopefully an effective model can be proposed in order to enhance the development of cross culture adjustment towards economic growth in Malaysia.
