International Cultural Differences
Communications, teamwork, organizational hierarchy, and positive attitudes toward management roles
are essential in any organization. These are crucial in international business, as problems are often
exacerbated by subtle cross-cultural differences. When defining roles in multinational teams whose
members have diverse attitudes and expectations about organizational hierarchy, these cultural
differences can present a challenge.
Culture is a system of values and norms that is shared among a group of people. The ways people
interact socially, their mutual expectations, and the values they share all have consequences for doing
business and managing across cross-cultural boundaries.
How a country's cultural differences relate to international business can be seen in the following
examples:
• In Japan, social hierarchy and respect for seniority are highly valued and are reflected at the
workplace. Those in senior management positions command respect and expect a formality and
deference from junior team members.
• In Scandinavian countries, societal equality is emphasized. Workplaces therefore tend to have a
comparatively flat organizational hierarchy. In turn, this organization can result in relatively
informal communication and an emphasis on cooperation across the organization.
• The way to address colleagues and business partners varies in different countries. While
Americans and Canadians tend to use first names, in Asian countries such as South Korea,
China, and Singapore, colleagues tend to use the formal address, Mr. or Ms. So do Germans and
many Europeans.
• The concept of punctuality also differs between cultures. Where an American may arrive at a
meeting a few minutes early, an Indian or Mexican colleague may arrive well after the scheduled
start time and still be considered on time.
• Attitudes to work also differ. While some may consider working long hours a sign of commitment,
others may view it as an encroachment on their personal time and a sacrifice of essential family
time.
• Greeting customs are highly culture- and situation-specific. In the United States and Canada, a
simple handshake while looking a person in the eye is the norm. In Japan, bowing is the
traditional greeting—the deeper the bow, the greater the respect shown. In India, you put hands
together as in prayer and say "namaste." In Arab countries, men might hug and kiss each other
(but not a woman) on the cheek.
• In Latin America and the Middle East, the acceptable physical distance needed to respect
someone's personal space is much shorter than what most Europeans and Americans feel
comfor.

culture & business.ppt
This document discusses key aspects of culture and how cultural differences can impact business internationally. It defines culture as a society's shared values and norms that determine appropriate behavior. National culture can vary significantly across borders in areas like social structure, religion, language, and workplace values. Understanding these cultural dimensions, as defined by Hofstede, is important for effective international business management. Managing cultural distance and developing cross-cultural literacy are also essential for reconciling cultural differences.

Chapter 2 cross cultural management
This document provides an overview of cross-cultural management concepts including:
- Culture is learned behavior shared among members of a society that influences norms, values, and practices.
- Elements of culture include language, values, norms, attitudes, customs, and more.
- Cultural determinants include religion, language, education, and social structure.
- Cross-cultural theories like Hofstede analyze cultural dimensions like power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and individualism vs collectivism that influence behaviors.
- Understanding cultural differences is important for effective cross-cultural communication and management.
Cultural differences
1. Culture is learned from one's social environment rather than being innate, and refers to shared values and meanings within groups rather than individual behaviors.
2. Key aspects of culture include direct vs indirect communication styles, individualism vs collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and short-term vs long-term orientation.
3. Understanding differences in cultural dimensions like context, hierarchy, risk tolerance, and time orientation is important for effective international business and management.
The meaning and dimensions of culture-Lecture-03(Helen Deresky)
Culture refers to the acquired knowledge that:
people use to interpret experience and generate social behavior, and
forms values, creates attitudes, and influences behavior.
In fact, culture comprises the shared values, understandings, assumptions, and goals that are:
Learned from earlier generations.
Imposed by present members of a society, and
Passed on to succeeding generations.

Social groups and social interactions
Groups are composed of two or more interacting individuals guided by social norms. There are several types of human clusters including aggregates based on a shared physical space, social categories based on common status, and collectivities with passing interactions. Factors like motivations, size, goals, and cohesion influence groups. Social organizations bring order through differentiating roles and norms. Social structure defines roles and statuses, while social functions are the results of these roles. Primary groups involve close interactions while secondary groups are more impersonal. Formal groups are deliberately formed with defined purposes versus informal groups arising spontaneously.
Daniels ib14inppt 02
This document discusses cultural environments and their impact on international business operations. It covers several learning objectives:
1. Understanding methods for learning about cultural environments, including cultural literacy and ethnocentricity.
2. Analyzing the major causes of cultural difference and change, such as cultural diffusion and how cultures form or are imposed on others.
3. Discussing behavioral factors like social stratification systems, work motivation differences, and relationship preference variations between high/low power distance and individualist/collectivist cultures.
The document provides examples and definitions for many cultural concepts and frameworks for analyzing differences between nations and regions.
Week 2
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and managing it successfully. It begins by looking at how social media is impacting global business communication. It then examines the cultural variables that can cause "noise" in the communication process for both senders and receivers from different cultures. These include attitudes, social organization, thought patterns, roles, language, and nonverbal communication cues. The document also explores how communication styles differ between high and low context cultures. It notes that information technology is impacting cross-border communication but that a global online strategy must also be localized. The document concludes by stating that to manage cross-cultural communication successfully, managers must develop cultural sensitivity, communicate with care, and establish trust across cultures.

RELATIVISM in Ethical Philosophy IU.pptx
This document discusses the concept of moral relativism. It defines moral relativism as the belief that moral values and practices are determined by cultures and can vary. It notes that according to relativism, what is morally acceptable can differ based on one's environment, society, or culture. The document outlines some pros of relativism, such as that it respects cultural diversity, promotes tolerance, and acknowledges moral values can change over time. It also discusses some cons, such as the idea is based on the perfection of humanity and could promote individualism over diversity. It provides examples of issues like arranged marriage that are viewed differently in various cultures.
People, Culture, & Perceptions

How society is organized
This document discusses how society is organized through social groups and kinship structures. It defines key concepts like primary and secondary groups, social categories, networks, and kinship by blood and marriage. Regarding kinship, it outlines different types of descent like patrilineal and matrilineal, and kinship groups like clans and lineages. Marriage is presented as central to kinship systems, with explanations of monogamy, polygamy, and forms like sororal polygyny. Family types covered include the nuclear, extended, single-parent, and blended models.
Organization culture and climate
Cross-cultural organizational behavior is the study of how culture relates to behaviors and processes in organizations across cultures. It examines phenomena at the individual, group, and organizational levels and how they interact across cultures. Understanding cultural differences is important for effective cross-cultural communication and management. Hofstede's model of culture identifies factors like power distance, individualism, and uncertainty avoidance that influence organizational culture and employee behaviors differently across cultures. Managing cross-cultural challenges requires understanding different communication styles, cultural values, and effective cross-cultural communication strategies.

Cross-cultural organizational behavior is the study of how culture relates to behaviors and processes in organizations across cultures. It examines phenomena at the individual, group, and organizational levels and how they interact across cultures. Understanding cultural differences is important for effective cross-cultural communication and management. Hofstede's model of culture identifies factors like power distance, individualism, and uncertainty avoidance that influence organizational culture and employee behaviors differently across cultures. Managing cross-cultural challenges requires understanding different communication styles, cultural values, and effective cross-cultural communication strategies.
