C it is..

A. When working with overseas clients, an understanding of cultural norms is at least as important as grasping the pivotal business issues for the global manager.
- misplaced modifier, an understanding is working with overseas clients

B. When they work with overseas clients, understanding cultural norms is at least of equal importance to the global manager as grasping the pivotal business issues.

- again misplaced modifier, understanding cultural norms are working with overseas clients because the subject of independent clause is subject of dependent clause.

C. For global managers working with overseas clients, understanding cultural norms is at least as important as grasping the pivotal business issues.

- keep this.

D. For global managers working with overseas clients, an understanding of cultural norms is at least as important to them as that they grasp the pivotal business issues.

- weird construction... as that..they does not refer to anything here...

E. Global managers working with overseas clients find an understanding of cultural norms to be equally important as grasping the pivotal business issues.

a noun, understanding, is compared with a participle phrase...
