章节摘录

　　The third dimension Hofstede indicated is individualism， the concern for yourself as an individualas opposed to concern for the group. The priority of self-oriented or group-oriented varies betweendifferent cultures. For example， most western employees like to work with their own plan fordefending their interest. This is considered high individualism. Because of different attitudes towardwork， "the incubator culture" arises when individuals from different cultures work together as agroup. Trompenaars told us， "the incubator is both personal and egalitarian." People do notcooperate at all. They just simply work in their own ways， follow their own rules， and achieve theirown objective. They do not like others to interfere. It is good for a company to gather as many ideasas they can when starting a new program. But how these individuals are managed to rezch the groupgoal should be important for managers.　　Fmally， Hofstede pointed out masculinity. This regards sexual inequality. According toHofstede's definitions， masculine societies define gender roles more rigidly than feminine societies. Inbusiness， managers should be aware of the treatment of different sexes under different culturalinfluences. In today's world， because of the mascttUne value and point of view， males take mostsenior managing positions. But， an experienced manager is supposed to know that it is harmoniouswhen men work with women since women are sometimes more sensitive. Therefore， balancingmasculinity/femininity from different cultures and backgrounds can maximize team power.　　The above four dimensions illtmfimted the most important cultural differences that affectbusiness. International managers should be able to be aware not only of the cultural differences butalso intercultural communication. 　　……
