THE FOUR ROLES OF LANGUAGE
• Language aids in information gathering and
evaluation.
• Language provides access to local society.
• Language capability is increasingly important in
company communications.
• Language provides more than the ability to
communicate because it extends beyond
mechanics to the interpretation of contexts that
may influence business operations.

• attention to the necessity to save face
• knowledge and appreciation of the host
country
• recognition of the decision-making process
and the role of personal relations and
personalities
• the allocation of time for negotiations
www.StudsPlanet.com
MATERIAL ELEMENTS
• Material culture refers to the results of
technology and is directly related to how a
society organizes its economic activity.
• It is manifested in the availability and adequacy
of the basic economic, social, financial, and
marketing infrastructure for the international
business in a market.

AESTHETICS
• Good taste is
expressed through
colors, form, and music.
• The meanings of colors
and symbols vary from
country to country.
www.StudsPlanet.com
EDUCATION
• Education, either formal
or informal, plays a
major role in the passing
on and sharing of
culture.
• International firms need
to understand the
varying emphases on
particular skills and the
overall level of
education provided.
www.StudsPlanet.com
SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS
• Social stratification is the division of a particular
population into classes.
• Reference groups provide the values and
attitudes that influence behavior. Primary
reference groups include the family and
coworkers.
• Social organization determines the roles of
managers and subordinates and how they relate
to each other.
www.StudsPlanet.com
CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE
• Cultural knowledge can be defined by the way
it is acquired:
• objective or factual information is obtained
through communication, research, and education.
• experiential knowledge can be acquired only by
being involved in a culture other than one’s own.
• Interpretive knowledge is the ability to
understand and fully appreciate the nuances of
different cultural traits and patterns.

SELF REFERENCE CRITERION
• Self reference criterion is the unconscious
reference to one’s own cultural values and is the
root of most international business problems.
• Suggestions to reduce cultural bias include:
• Define the problem or goal in terms of domestic cultural
traits, habits, or norms.
• Define the problem or goal in terms of the foreign
cultural traits, habits, or norms.
• Isolate the self-reference criterion influence in the
problem, and examine it to see how it complicates the
problem.
• Redefine the problem without the self-reference
criterion influence, and solve for the optimum-goal
situation
www.StudsPlanet.com
CROSS-CULTURAL TRAINING
• Cultural training programs
should include:
• culture-specific information
• general cultural information
on values, practices, and
assumptions
• self-specific information that
identifies one’s own cultural
paradigm
www.StudsPlanet.com
CROSS-CULTURAL TRAINING
(CONT.)
• Additional forms of training
include:
• mentoring
• area studies programs
• cultural assimilator programs,
in which trainees must respond
to scenarios of specific
situations in a particular
country
• sensitivity training
• field experience
www.StudsPlanet.com
TIPS FOR MAKING CULTURE WORK
