WHY?




WHAT Managers do

is the same the world over.

HOWthey do it

is embedded in their tradition

and culture.

Peter Drucker




These are your Challenges

when managing in different countries:

• Changing individual behaviour 69 %

• Cultural differences 65 %

• Business practice differences 52 %

• Headquarters too remote 44 %

• Labor law differences 41 %

• Accounting and tax differences 36 %




Is Intercultural Competence a “soft skill” ?

No,

it is a decisive factor that determines failure

or success of international operations and

projects.

It is a Strategic Competence!

The 6-D Model

All societies face the same basic problems – only the answers differ in terms of:

Relationship to Power «PDI»Who shall decide? How to stabilize decision making?

Individualism «IDV»Which space and freedom shall we give to the individual?

Motivation-Aspiration «MAS»What should be the optimal gender role model?

Which motivational triggers shall we promote?

Uncertainty Avoidance «UAI»How to deal with uncertainty and an unknown future?

Pragmatism – LongTerm Orientation «PRA»How far ahead do we orient our doing? How important are principles and faith?

Indulgence vs. Restraint «IVR»To what extent shall we allow for the satisfaction or gratification of human desires and impulses?
