This document discusses strategies for cultural change within organizations. It outlines two main approaches: top-down and bottom-up. The top-down approach involves changes initiated and directed by senior managers, such as structural changes and training programs. However, this approach can paradoxically undermine autonomy. The bottom-up approach involves incremental changes initiated within business units to solve specific problems. The document also discusses how national culture and organizational culture interact, and how managing cultural diversity effectively requires understanding differences while promoting synergy among team members.
Organizational culture at MNC in IndiaMahima Nigam
Organizational culture describes the shared psychology, attitudes, beliefs, and values of an organization. It depicts how employees and customers should be treated and the rules that govern employee behavior. Johnson described a cultural web that can be used to identify elements of organizational culture, including the organization's mission, control systems, structures, power dynamics, symbols, rituals and routines, and shared stories and myths. In multinational corporations (MNCs), organizational culture generally follows a role culture model. However, MNCs can face issues like individual differences across countries, multicultural conflicts, and cultural distance that can negatively impact the organization. To mitigate these negatives, MNCs should emphasize the advantages of their culture while working to remove or

1. Understanding cultural differences is essential for success in international business. Cultural differences can cause conflict but also promote good global business if understood.
2. Culture refers to the beliefs, customs, and attitudes of a distinct group. There are national, regional, and local levels of culture that impact people's lives.
3. Succeeding in international business requires understanding culture, adjusting to culture, and participating in local culture.
This document discusses cross-cultural management and its growing importance. It defines culture and cross-cultural, then outlines some cross-cultural issues like gender, work, age and language. It notes that the need for cross-cultural management is increasing due to globalization and migration. The goals of cross-cultural management are to understand how national cultures affect practices, identify similarities and differences across cultures, and increase global management effectiveness. It also discusses applying cross-cultural management in businesses to solve interpersonal problems between culturally diverse staff.
This document contrasts individualism and collectivism in cultures. It defines individualism as promoting independence, goals, competition, and private self-knowledge, while collectivism focuses on relatedness, belonging, duty, harmony, advice-seeking, and hierarchies. Countries rated as highly individualistic include the US, Australia, and Great Britain, while more collectivist countries include Guatemala, Ecuador, and South Korea. The document also discusses how cultures differ in their views on autonomy versus embeddedness in groups and motivations for responsible behavior.
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.
The very objective of this presentation is to give a detailed brief picture on how Culture plays a significant role especially in the context of Global HRM coupled with few other concepts regarding the context.
I hope this PPT will serve as good reference for aspiring HR learners.

The meaning and dimensions of culture-Lecture-03(Helen Deresky)Shifur Rahman
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.

This document discusses national culture and its implications for leadership. It summarizes Geert Hofstede's model of cultural dimensions, which identifies power distance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term vs short-term orientation as key dimensions. It also discusses the GLOBE study's model of cultural dimensions. The document analyzes how these cultural dimensions relate to different leadership styles and may impact business culture and leadership training approaches for multinational companies. While cultural models provide insights, the document cautions against stereotyping and notes that cultures are complex and constantly evolving.
This document discusses cross-cultural decision making. It defines cross-cultural as the impact that different cultures have when interacting. There are two types of decision making processes: programmed, which relies on precedent, and non-programmed, which analyzes current data. The steps of decision making in western culture are to define the problem, identify criteria, evaluate choices, and implement a choice. Some problems with cross-cultural decision making are reconciling conflicting demands and defining individual motivations across cultures.
This document provides an overview of cross-cultural management. It begins with definitions of key terms like organization, culture, cross-cultural management, and globalization. It then discusses the importance of cross-cultural management in multinational companies. The document outlines organizational culture, leadership across cultures, and international human resource management. It also examines cross-cultural skills and cultural synergy. Case studies are presented to illustrate challenges and successes in cross-cultural interactions between organizations.
Culture / Characteristics of culture / Diversity of CultureAbdul Razzaq Khan
This document discusses the concept of culture. It defines culture as the customs, traditions, attitudes, values, norms, ideas and symbols that govern human behavior patterns. The document then outlines several key characteristics of culture, including that culture is learned behavior, abstract, patterned, includes attitudes/values/knowledge, is shared within a society, is transmitted between generations, and is continually changing. It also notes that language is the chief vehicle for transmitting culture. The document concludes by discussing types of culture like Western, Eastern, Latin, and African culture and the importance of cultural diversity.
Trompenaars identified seven cultural dimensions that influence business practices across cultures: universalism vs particularism, communitarianism vs individualism, neutral vs emotional, diffuse vs specific, achievement vs ascription, human-time relationship, and human-nature relationship. These dimensions can help multinational companies understand differences in areas like contracting, incentives, team dynamics, criticism, promotion practices, and more when operating across cultures.
The document provides an overview of managing cultural conflicts in multicultural teams. It discusses several key challenges, including differences in communication styles, attitudes toward hierarchy, and decision-making norms across cultures. Managing cultural diversity effectively requires understanding these cultural differences, avoiding imposing one's own cultural perspectives, and empowering team members to resolve issues themselves.
This document discusses culture change and the role of teachers as culture brokers. It makes the following key points:
1. Culture is the set of shared values, beliefs, and norms that guide the thinking and behaviors of members of an organization. Culture is continually changing both materially and non-materially.
2. Teachers can act as culture brokers to bridge differences between their own culture and their students' cultures. This involves acquiring cultural knowledge, facilitating strategic learning approaches, and creating opportunities for critical dialogue.
3. As managers and future principals, being sensitive to cultural symbols and changing underlying messages is important for effectively bridging cultural gaps and influencing culture change in a school.
Multicultural individuals can bring several benefits to global organizations. They can help build cohesion on multicultural teams, bring creativity and innovation, and positively influence intercultural negotiations. However, for organizations to fully leverage these benefits, they need to develop a culture that values multiculturalism, recruit and place multicultural individuals strategically, and provide training to help close skills gaps between mono- and multi-cultural employees.
Hofstede identified four key dimensions of cultural differences - power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism vs collectivism, and masculinity vs femininity - based on a large study of employees at an American multinational company across 50 countries. Power distance relates to unequal distribution of power in societies. Uncertainty avoidance relates to a society's tolerance of ambiguous situations. Individualism vs collectivism relates to the strength of social frameworks and prioritization of self vs group. Masculinity vs femininity relates to assertiveness and social gender roles. Hofstede's work provides insight into how national cultures vary along these dimensions and their implications.
This document summarizes Geert Hofstede's six cultural dimensions for analyzing and comparing cultures: Power Distance Index, Individualism vs Collectivism, Masculinity vs Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance Index, Long Term Orientation vs Short Term Normative Orientation, and Indulgence vs Restraint. For each dimension, it provides a definition and comparison of high vs low characteristics. The document encourages viewers to check Hofstede's website and YouTube channel for more information on his model of cultural dimensions.
Culture refers to the beliefs, values, behaviors and objects that form a society's way of life. It has two main components - nonmaterial culture like ideas and material culture like technology. Culture influences personality development and consists of ideals and real-world behaviors. Key parts of culture found across societies are symbols, language, values and norms. Language allows cultural transmission between generations while values and norms guide behavior. A society's culture can include subcultures and be judged through ethnocentrism or cultural relativity. There is debate around whether a global culture is emerging due to economic, communication and migration trends.
Cross-cultural management seeks to understand how national cultures affect management practices, identify similarities and differences in management across cultures, and increase effectiveness in global management. As globalization increases interactions between those from different cultures, cross-cultural management helps organizations gain a better understanding of other cultures and the consequences of a multicultural workforce. Frameworks like Hofstede's cultural dimensions provide ways to analyze cultural differences that can impact areas like decision making, risk tolerance, and rewards. Being aware of cultural factors is important for effective cross-cultural interactions and management.
This document provides an overview of the cultural dimensions of Bangladesh and Germany according to Geert Hofstede's 6-Dimension Model of national culture. It analyzes each country's scores on the six dimensions of Power Distance, Individualism, Masculinity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long-Term Orientation, and Indulgence. Bangladesh scores high on Power Distance and Masculinity, indicating a hierarchical and achievement-focused society, while scoring low on Individualism and Indulgence, reflecting collective loyalty and restraint. Germany scores lower on Power Distance and higher on Individualism, reflecting a decentralized society with independent citizens, and scores high on Masculinity, Uncertainty Avoidance, and Long-Term Orientation, prior

Key topics covered include culture and its dimensions, cultural diversity priorities, Hofstede's cultural dimensions model, ethics and social responsibility, and managing across cultures. Evaluation includes assignments, projects, discussions, and assessments. Ground rules are also outlined.
Organizational culture is defined as the shared beliefs, assumptions, values, and norms that shape how an organization functions. A strong organizational culture provides members with a sense of identity, stability, and guides appropriate behaviors. Culture is created by founders and leaders, and transmitted to new members through socialization processes like training and stories. While culture provides benefits, it can also hinder change and diversity if not managed properly.
The document discusses the complex tasks faced by international managers. It notes that international managers must deal with communities in foreign countries that have different attitudes, beliefs, customs, languages, and fashions. It then examines various cultural models for understanding these differences, including those proposed by Hofstede and Trompenaars. Key aspects of culture discussed include attitudes, beliefs, religions, customs, languages, and fashions. The document emphasizes that international managers must understand these cultural differences to be effective.
This document discusses culture and how it affects managerial approaches. It begins by defining culture and listing some key characteristics of culture.

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.
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.
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.
Organizational behaviour is the study of how individuals and groups act within organizations. It examines how individual traits, group dynamics, and organizational structure impact behaviour. The goal is to apply this knowledge to improve organizational effectiveness. Some key points covered include:
- Organizations are groups that work together for a common purpose and have structured patterns of interaction.
- Organizational behaviour draws from multiple disciplines like psychology, sociology, and anthropology.
- Individuals have unique traits and experiences that impact their behaviour, and people bring their whole selves to work.
1. Geert Hofstede is a Dutch social psychologist who conducted a landmark study on how values in the workplace are influenced by culture.
2. He studied over 100,000 questionnaires collected from IBM employees working in over 70 countries and identified four dimensions along which cultural values can vary: power distance, individualism, masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance.
3. Hofstede's model is widely used to understand national and regional cultural differences and their impact on work-related values and behavior. While criticized for some limitations, it remains highly influential in cross-cultural research.

Organizational culture, ICEBERG MODEL OF CULTURE: Creating and Sustaining Cul...Shilpi Arora
This document discusses organizational culture and climate. It defines organizational culture as the customs, beliefs, norms and values that guide employee behavior and are passed down over generations. Culture refers to learned patterns of behavior shared among members. The document then discusses characteristics of organizational culture like defining boundaries and collective commitment. It also discusses when culture can become a liability and how to create and sustain culture through acculturation processes. The document next covers differences in organizational culture across countries based on concepts, attitudes, institutions, policies and societal values. It analyzes culture using Hofstede's 5 cultural dimensions and dimensions of organizational climate.
This document discusses differences in cultures and provides an overview of key cultural concepts. It defines cross-cultural literacy as understanding how cultural differences can affect business practices. Culture is described as a system of shared values and norms that constitute a design for a group. Different types of social norms like folkways and mores are presented, along with how society, nation states, and individualism vs group orientation relate to culture. The document also discusses social stratification through caste/class systems and the significance of stratification on issues like social mobility and class consciousness. Finally, it provides brief descriptions of religion and ethical systems.
Culture is a shared system of attitudes, values, ideas, customs, beliefs and behaviors that is influenced by factors like education, geography and history. However, individual personality also plays a role in behavior. Intercultural communication is complex, as there is an interplay between culture, the individual, and the situation. To understand business partners, one needs to consider their personalities, cultural backgrounds, and the current business situation. Developing intercultural competence involves observing cultural differences, enjoying intercultural encounters, learning cultural histories, avoiding stereotypes, and respecting differences while adapting one's own behavior.
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.

2. REASONS FOR DIFFERENCE
Power distribution - Whether the members of the society follow the hierarchical
approach or the egalitarian ideology?
Social relationships - Are people more individualistic or they believe in
collectivism?
Environmental relationships - Do people exploit the environment for their
socioeconomic purposes or do they strive to live in harmony with the
surroundings?
Work patterns - Do people perform one task at a time or they take up multiple
tasks at a time?
Uncertainty & social control - Whether the members of the society like to avoid
uncertainty and be rule-bound or whether the members of the society are more
relationship-based and like to deal with the uncertainties as & when they arise?
3. CHALLENGES
How can managers adapt individual employee and the organization as a whole to
the realities of the working in a global marketplace.
Perception - Employees from developed countries consider people from
developing or under-developed countries to be inferior.
Inaccurate biases - Stereotypical biasness like “Chinese products are cheap and of
poor quality.
False communication - During discussions, Japanese people nod their heads more
as a sign of politeness and not necessarily as an agreement to what is being talked
about.
4. APPROACHES
Identify the dimensions of difference
Give everyone a voice
Protect your most creative units
Train everyone in key norms
Be heterogeneous everywhere
