Description

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Cultural Studies - Basics and Definitions, grade: 2,0, University of applied sciences, Düsseldorf (eufom Business School University of Applied Sciences Study Centre Düsseldorf), course: Intercultural Cometencies, language: English, abstract: This thesis deals with individual aspects in which cultures can differ and clarifies the understanding of 'culture'. In addition, special attention is also paid to the Six-Dimensions Model of Hofstede. This Model is also used to analyse and relate four cultures from different countries. The main focus of this work is on the question of what needs to be considered when dealing with cultural differences. Today's world is closely connected. People all over the world communicate with each other; People of different origins. This intercultural communication plays a special role in the social as well as in the business world, as business activities have become more intercultural. The steady increase in corporate activities on the world markets over the past decades has led to a shift in corporate culture from a purely national focus to an international orientation. Social contacts between people from different cultures have also become more permanent and intensive. This applies not only to tourist stays abroad, but also to business life. Intercultural cooperation in middle management and among employees is already taken for granted today. For this purpose it is not necessary for the participants to travel abroad.
