Understanding International Business in the Context of Cultural LensesIOSR Journals
This paper is based on the premise that for business organizations to succeed in our globalized, competitive international environment without a „globalized‟ culture, business managers need to have a sound and practical knowledge of cross boarder cultures. Believing, as Dewey (1938) long ago recognized that “there is nothing more practical than a good theory”, the paper identified from the professional literature and discussed seven theories of culture. The understanding of these cultural models would help the business manager to become more intelligent, culturally more sensitive to cultural differences, develop cultural competence and became more effective and efficient as he/she works to overcome cultural complexities that can negatively affect business and business profits.
Cross cultural management involves managing work teams in ways that considers the differences in cultures, practices and preferences of consumers in a global or international business context. Many businesses have to learn to modify or adapt their approaches in order to compete on a level in fields no longer bound by physical geography with online interactions more common in business and other situations.

Factors that may be used to define the level of development of a country.(san...Santosh Sapkota
Over the past two decades and, particularly after the Social Summit in Copenhagen, development
practice increasingly has paid more attention to the underlying causes of poverty and social
exclusion. The World Bank, like other international agencies, has concluded that understanding
the socio-cultural, political, and institutional context is essential for developing actions that
induce and support changes leading to poverty reduction and more inclusive, accountable, and
cohesive societies and institutions.-World Bank
