3. HISTORY
• Germanic tribes and Frankish Empire
• East Francia and Holy Roman Empire
• German Confederation and Empire
• Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany
• East and West Germany
• Reunified Germany and EU

5. Power Distance
• Highly decentralised and supported by a strong middle class(score 35).
• Co-determination rights are comparatively extensive and have to be taken
into account by the management.
• A direct and participative communication and meeting style is common,
control is disliked and leadership is challenged to show expertise and best
accepted when it’s based on it.

6. Individualism
• The German society is a truly Individualist one (67).
• Small families with a focus on the parent-children relationship rather than
aunts and uncles are most common.
• Communication is among the most direct in the world following the ideal
to be “honest, even if it hurts” – and by this giving the counterpart a fair
chance to learn from mistakes.

7. Masculinity
• With a score of 66 Germany is considered a Masculine society.
• Performance is highly valued and early required as the school system
separates children into different types of schools at the age of ten.
• People rather “live in order to work” and draw a lot of self-esteem
from their tasks.

8. Uncertainty Avoidance
• Germany is among the uncertainty avoidant countries (65); the score
is on the high end, so there is a slight preference for Uncertainty
Avoidance.
• There is a strong preference for deductive rather than inductive
approaches, be it in thinking, presenting or planning: the systematic
overview has to be given in order to proceed.

9. Long-term orientation
• Germany's high score of 83 indicates that it is a pragmatic country.
• In societies with a pragmatic orientation, people believe that truth
depends very much on situation, context and time.
• They show an ability to adapt traditions easily to changed conditions, a
strong propensity to save and invest, thriftiness, and perseverance in
achieving results.

10. Indulgence
• The low score of 40 on this dimension indicates that the German culture is
Restrained in nature.
• Societies with a low score in this dimension have a tendency to cynicism
and pessimism.
• Also, in contrast to Indulgent societies, Restrained societies do not put
much emphasis on leisure time and control the gratification of their desires

11. DO’s
• Germans are competitive, ambitious and hard bargainers.
• The German thought process is extremely thorough, with each aspect of a project being
examined in great detail. This process is often very time-intensive.
• Punctuality is necessity in Germany. Being late, even if it is only by a few minutes, is
very insulting to a German executive.
• shake hands at both the beginning and the end of a meeting. Additionally, a handshake
may be accompanied with a slight bow.
• In business meetings, age takes precedence over youth. If you are in a group setting,
the eldest person enters first.
• PhD holder should be called as Doctor.
• Speak English, Speak slowly
• Maintain clear lines of demarcation between people, places, and things to lead a
structured and ordered life.
• Recycle the used bottles and receive funds.
• Duzen oder Siezen

12. DON’T’s
• Do not walk or stay in the bicycle lane.
• Do not walk inside home with shoes on.
• Do not wish birthday before midnight.
• Don’t talk about Nazi, Hitler salute too - jail for 5 years.
• Germans do not like surprises. Sudden changes in business transactions, even if they may improve
the outcome, are unwelcome.
• German citizens do not need or expect to be complimented. In Germany, it is assumed that
everything is satisfactory unless the person hears otherwise.
• Business is viewed as being very serious, and Germans do not appreciate humor in a business
context.
• German men do not like to be called by their first name instead greet each other with Herr 'last
name', even when they know each other very well.
• Avoid sniffing when you have cold.
• If you don’t know a person, don’t get too close or personal.
