Full textAbstract:
The culturally derived accounting orientations of four major emerging economies, Brazil, Russia, India and China, the BRIC countries, are examined based on the Geert Hofstede work on cultural dimensions (Hofstede, 1980) and the hypothetical derivation of related accounting values by S. J. Gray. (Gray, 1988) Results on Hofstedes four original cultural dimensions are analyzed and compared. An analysis of results for Grays derived accounting values is presented for these countries. An IFRS favorable profile based on Grays accounting value dimensions is developed and BRIC and G7 results on these dimensions are compared. Strategies to adjust for country cultural profiles at variance with the IFRS profile are proposed.

An analysis of applications and replications of the work of Geert Hofstede was based on a collection of citations of published and unpublished material. Four types of usage were found: citations, reviews, empirical replications, and as a paradigm. The role of Hofstede's work is illustrated by the number of citations, the widespread usage of Hofstede's culture types beyond citation as well as con firmation of the results and validation of the dimensions by empirical research.

Full textAbstract:
Gray (Gray, 1988) proposed a link between Geert Hofstedes (Hofstede, 1980) popular national culture dimensions used in comparative management analysis and his own comparative concepts for accounting. In the past twenty-four years, Grays work has been cited by over 650 scholars. His article presented a hypothetical set of complex correspondences between Hofstedes original four dimensions of Power-distance, Individualism, Masculinity, and Uncertainty Avoidance and Grays accounting values of Professionalism versus Statutory control, Uniformity versus Flexibility, Conservatism versus Optimism, and Secrecy versus Transparency. Grays accounting dimensions were intended to capture underlying cultural values that would tend, in the absence of external influences or other factors, to influence a culture toward the development of certain types of accounting systems. The purpose of this paper is to identify which Gray values and which corresponding Hofstede cultural dimensions would be most supportive of the establishment of accounting standards like the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), currently being adopted by nations throughout the world. A specific set or profile of Gray values most conducive to IFRS is identified and termed the IFRS-favorable profile. In arriving at this profile, the paper also addresses two newer Hofstede cultural dimensions, long-term orientation and Restraint versus Indulgence, and extends Grays model by proposing how these two new Hofstede dimensions correspond to Grays four accounting dimensions. The IFRS-favorable profile and the expansion of Grays link to Hofstede are discussed as practical applications to facilitate successful IFRS implementation in individual countries.

Tujuan studi ini adalah mensintesakan dialektika keduanya menggunakan gagasan Christ above Culture dari Niebuhr. Metode riset ini menggunakan dialektika Hegel untuk mensintesakan hubungan dialektika antara kebudayaan Indonesia dan iman Kristen. Hasil penelitian ini adalah sintesa dari: (1) dialektika antara doktrin keselamatan yang bersifat individualistis dengan kebudayaan Indonesia yang kolektivis; (2) dialektika iman Kristen dengan kebudayaan penghindaran ketidakpastian; (3) dialektika ajaran iman Kristen tentang kesetaraan dan kebudayaan jarak kekuasaan; (4) dialektika nilai maskulinitas-femininitas dalam iman Kristen dengan kebudayaan Indonesia yang feminin; dan (5) dialektika orientasi waktu jangka panjang dan jangka pendek dalam perspektif iman Kristen dan kebudayaan Indonesia. Sejumlah solusi alternatif juga diusulkan sebagai aplikasi praktis sintesa-sintesa tersebut bagi pelayanan Injil di Indonesia yang tidak dapat menghindari interaksi dengan kebudayaan setempat.

Full textAbstract:
The work of Geert Hofstede and S.J. Gray has provided a framework for many studies of the potential impact of cultural values on accounting in various countries. This paper provides a comparative analysis of accounting perspectives in Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC). The CEEC are former communist states in Europe which became independent countries after the collapse of the Iron Curtain. Twelve CEEC were selected for study: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. Each is examined for Hofstedes six cultural dimensions and a corresponding accounting profile is derived based on Grays accounting values. Profiles for each country are compared to an independent IFRS favorable profile proposed by the author as part of a broader analysis of cultural patterns, among other factors, for successful IFRS implementation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of cultural dimensions on personal investment decisions in the Tehran Stock Exchange. The cultural dimensions model was well established by Geert Hofstede (1980). This research tested a main hypothesis and four subsidiary hypotheses. The data was gathered through library methods and questionnaires. The results showed that the main hypothesis which examined whether there is a significant relationship between cultural dimensions and investment decisions in the Tehran stock exchange was confirmed. Subsidiary hypothesis about the relationship between two of Hofstedes cultural dimensions, Power Distance and Individualism, and investment decisions was not confirmed at a meaningful level. However other subsidiary hypothesis of the research based on the relationship between Masculinity and Uncertainty Avoidance and investment decisions was significant at a meaningful level and confirmed.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />This research is entitled Simplification of Hit Ritual and Hofstede Cultural Dimensions in Sumo Version of Forte Ads. This study aims to understand the Harai Rituals in simplified Sumo rituals and Hofstede's cultural dimensions in FORTE cigarette product advertisements. The FORTE cigarette product is relatively new in the Indonesian market. This cigarette product originating from a Japanese company was launched by a local Indonesian company, PT Djarum. But in the advertisement, the product featured Sumo wrestlers who were squeezed by a frame which later revealed mighty tiny writing as the main FORTE cigarette slogan. In the discussion, it will be explained how Hofstede's dimensions of cultural cross are presented through the overall appearance of Forte's cigarette advertisements and products. The researcher concluded that the audio-visual work of Forte cigarette products in the form of advertisements was a simplification of the ritual of the Sumo sport for the purpose of product promotion and the duration of the ad itself. The Japanese cultural identity that appears in FORTE's cigarette advertisements through Sumo sports has the complexity of historical cultural dimensions which are full of meaning and philosophy.</p><p><strong>Keywords; Simplification, Harai, ritual, cultural, Hofstede, Forte.</strong></p><p><strong></strong>ABSTRAK<br />Penelitian ini berjudul Simplifikasi Ritual Harai dan Dimensi Kultural Hofstede dalam Iklan Forte Versi Sumo.

Full textAbstract:
Although various aspects of intercultural communication have been addressed in the works of various authors, there is still a lack of works that describe intercultural communication from the new viewpoint – in terms of effective intercultural business interaction, theoretical analysis of models of the classification of cultures, and combination of theoretical and practical insights in overcoming the obstacles of intercultural interaction. There is also a lack of works that highlight creativity as an integral part of cross-cultural business communication. In the belief of the author of the article, without a close synthesis of these aspects, it is impossible to understand in detail the meaning of effective intercultural business interaction. Purpose of the article – to analyse theoretical and practical aspects of effective cross-cultural business communication based on creativity. In the article, through the use of the models of the classification of cultures of various researchers from around the world (Richard R. Gesteland, Edward T. Hall, Richard D. Lewis, Geert Hofstede, Gert Jan Hofstede, Michael Minkov, Shalom H. Schwartz), the aspects of multiculturalism in the context of intercultural business interaction are highlighted. The work analyses creativity as an integral part of effective cross-cultural business communication. The publication also describes the barriers in the intercultural interaction and ways to overcome it. Research methods used in the work: systematic, comparative, logical analysis and synthesis of scientific literature.

Actualmente, las relaciones comerciales entre México y Alemania se han fortalecido, siendo México el único país latinoamericano con un Tratado de Libre Comercio con Alemania.El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el modelo cultural de Hofstede, para explicar las similitudes y diferencias culturales entre organizaciones alemanas y mexicanas, lo cual permite generar una gestión exitosa del talento humano en un entorno multicultural.Se utilizó el modelo cultural de Geert Hofstede por ser uno de los enfoques culturales más reconocidos acerca de la investigación intercultural.Se trata de una investigación documental con enfoque descriptivo, cuyas conclusiones resaltan que la cultura alemana y la cultura mexicana coinciden solamente en dos de las dimensiones propuestas por Hofstede: la masculinidad y la evitación de incertidumbre. Además, se encontró que Alemania tiene una distancia de poder pequeña y una orientación a largo plazo; por su parte México posee una distancia de poder alta y una orientación a corto plazo. Más allá, el individualismo y la restricción prevalecen en organizaciones alemanas, mientras que el colectivismo y la indulgencia sobresalen en empresas mexicanas.Indiscutiblemente, las diferencias mencionadas deben considerarse cuando se desea una gestión exitosa del talento humano en el entorno mexicano-alemán.

Poverty – prosperity leap debates have been rising steeply across the globe in recent decades. Taking Taiwan with its Li Kwohting’s legacies as a good illustration how the agrarian-based colony turned into the ‘Silicon Island’ for a comparatively small period the authors analyse the man-made policies on making the ‘Taiwan’s Economic Miracle’. The article studies a ‘twilight zone’ within the gap as well as both the prerequisites and outcomes of the ‘Taiwan’s Godfather of Technology’ stewardship. The paper also considers the factors which determine the rapid growth of Taiwan.Despite the almost universal characteristics of the East Asia countries, differences between them remain substantial. This circumstance gives the authors a room for speculations over the reasons of one country becoming the world leaders. The authors use the ‘Four Asian Tigers’ as Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan for comparison. China is also included in the comparative analysis for better understanding. The study showed that the success phenomenon of the country is being determined in the national cultural context, inside of which the economy develops. The Geert Hofstede’s Six Cultural Dimensions model was utilized for employing the indexes as follows: Power Distance, Collectivism vs. Individualism, Uncertainty Avoidance Index, Femininity vs.Masculinity, Short-Term vs. Long-Term Orientation and Restraint vs. Indulgence. The cultural dimensions typology of the Geert Hofstede helped to explain the national predominance for this or that economic and political initiatives of the government, the comparison showed that the core of nation’s prosperity development mechanisms is incorporated in the Taiwanese cultural code.

Bir ulusa ait kültürel özellikler, toplumdaki kişilerin tutumlarını etkilediği gibi iş yaşamındaki çalışanların davranışlarında da belirgin bir etkiye sahip olabilmektedir. Bu bağlamda farklı ülkelere ait kültürel değerleri analiz eden en kapsamlı araştırma, sosyolog Geert Hofstede tarafından yapılmıştır. Hofstede, ülkelerin kültürel davranışlarını inceleyerek farklı türlerde kültürel boyutlar belirlemiştir. Bu boyutlar, o toplumdaki kişilerin iş ortamındaki davranışlarını ve iletişim biçimini anlamak açısından önem taşır. Bir toplum içerisinde iletişim şeklini belirleyen bazı kültürel unsurlar aynı şekilde iş hayatında da devam ettirildiğinde olumsuz birtakım sonuçlara yol açabilmektedir. Bunun en belirgin örneği olarak Kore Hava Yolları’nın 1997 yılında yaşadığı ölümcül kaza gösterilebilir. Kaza, teknik sebeplerden değil Güney Kore’nin kültürel yapısından ve kullandıkları dilden kaynaklanan aşırı hiyerarşiden meydana gelmişti. Bu kapsamda makalenin amacı, kültürel unsurların iletişime nasıl yansıdığını ele almak ve kültürel nedenlerden kaynaklanan iletişim sorunlarının zaman zaman ciddi olumsuz sonuçlara sebep olabileceğini ortaya koymaktır. Bu bağlamda Hofstede’nin kültürel boyutlar kuramı çerçevesinde kültürel unsurlar ortaya konulmuştur. Araştırma yöntemi olarak örnek olay çalışması kullanılarak Güney Kore Hava Yolları örnek olayı vasıtasıyla konu irdelenerek öneriler sunulmuştur. Araştırma sonunda kültürel faktörlerden kaynaklı iletişim sorununun hava yolu kazasına neden olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Con el propósito de examinar la variable independiente cultura nacional, se utilizaron los índices culturales publicados por Geert Hofstede (1980). Para examinar la variable dependiente estilos de liderazgo, se aplicó el Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire desarrollado por Bass y Avolio (2004). Los resultados del presente estudio muestran que, en general, la cultura nacional explica una variación significativa en el uso de los estilos de liderazgo transaccional y transformacional que exhiben los gerentes que trabajan en las empresas extranjeras que operan en Puerto Rico.

Full textAbstract:
Globalisation and increasing digitisation mean that companies must increasingly orientate themselves internationally in order to become (more) competitive or to remain competitive. Promoting e-working can revitalise rural development. The issue involved is always interaction between people from different cultures, between people who, according to their cultural backgrounds, feel, think and act differently. When cultural diversity and differences are taken into account, greater creativity, more diverse ideas and faster problem solving are achieved. The cultural dimensions, according to Geert Hofstede, offer a comprehensive model for capturing the various expressions of intercultural values. This paper examines the motives for applying e-working in selected European countries in 2018 according to Hofstede’s six dimensions of national culture. Twenty-eight countries from the Eurostat database were analysed (Finland and the Netherlands were excluded, and software detected them in the e-working variable as outliers). Correlation with e-working is statistically significant at PDI (power distance index - negative: the lower the PDI index, the higher the proportion of e-working) and IVR index (indulgence versus restraint - positive: the higher the IVR index, the higher the proportion of e-working).

L'articolo intende analizzare il concetto di dimensione culturale proveniente dal quadro della comunicazione interculturale nell'ambito del lavoro teorico di Geert Hofstede e il concetto di cortesia linguistica di Brown e Levinson. L'articolo analizza un articolo di Umberto Eco raccolto dal sito del settimanale Espresso nell'ottobre 2015. Lo scopo dell'articolo è quello di spiegare il meccanismo sottostante della macchina del fango all'interno del sistema mediatico italiano. L'originalità di questo lavoro consiste nell'utilizzare il concetto di dimensioni culturali utilizzato nell'ambito sociologico così come il concetto di faccia della cortesia linguistica applicato a un testo letterario. In conclusione, questo articolo vorrebbe offrire uno strumento interpretativo utile per descrivere alcune questioni ancora valide sulla realtà culturale e politica dell'Italia. L'intento è capire quali dimensioni culturali e faccia come concetto sono coinvolti in questo articolo.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the paper is to outline a new original approach to judicial innovations, in comparison to the previous conceptualizations or actual innovation agendas. The proposed approach flows from larger theoretical and empirical project concerned with the reconceptualized, in comparison to Geert Hofstede’s, understanding of power distance and its application to courtroom interactions, especially between judges and witnesses. First, the paper carefully clarifies the underlying reconceptualized power distance and empirical research based on it, focused on judge-witness courtroom interactions. Subsequently, the proposed conceptualization of judicial innovations is presented, its assumptions explained and particular examples provided. Against the background of other judicial innovations studies and agendas, it is argued that this proposal is not only much more theoretically and conceptually clear, but, even more importantly, much more practical, in a sense that it significantly widens perspective on the possible advancements in judicial systems and helps in generating innovation ideas. El objetivo del artículo es trazar un abordaje original al tema de las innovaciones judiciales, en comparación con conceptualizaciones anteriores o programas reales de innovación. El acercamiento propuesto fluye a partir de un proyecto teórico y empírico más amplio relacionado con la conceptualización, en comparación con la concepción de Geert Hofstede de la distancia de poder y su aplicación a la interacción en los tribunales, sobre todo entre jueces y testigos. Primero, el artículo clarifica cuidadosamente la distancia de poder reconceptualizada subyacente y la investigación empírica basada en ella y centrada en la interacción entre juez y testigo. En consecuencia, se presenta la conceptualización propuesta de innovaciones judiciales, con una explicación de sus supuestos y con ejemplos concretos. Sobre el trasfondo de otros estudios y programas de innovación judicial, se aduce que esta propuesta no sólo es mucho más clara en teoría y conceptos, sino que, lo que es más importante, es mucho más práctica, por cuanto amplifica de forma significativa la perspectiva sobre posibles avances en sistemas judiciales, y ayuda a generar nuevas ideas para innovar.

Full textAbstract:
In accounting and auditing, the concept of cultural relativism was promoted by Riahi-Belkaoui (1995). He developed a cultural relativism in accounting model based on a cognitive perspective view. This theory suggests that different cultural groups "create different cognitions or systems of knowledge for intracultural communications and/or intercultural communications" (Riahi-Belkaoui, 1995, p. 53). Differences in culture can be seen in terms of the value systems held by a culture. Of the values-based conceptions of culture, one of the most important and useful for empirical research was provided by Geert Hofstede (Patel, 2004). Hofstede (1980a) and Hofstede, et al. (2010) developed six cultural factors: (1) individualism versus collectivism; (2) large versus small power distance; (3) strong versus weak uncertainty avoidance; (4) masculinity versus femininity; (5) long-term versus short-term orientation; and (6) indulgence versus restraint. The long-term/short-term orientation was developed based on the concept of Confucian dynamism, which is closely related to the teachings of Confucius and can be interpreted as having a pragmatic future-oriented perspective rather than a conventional historical short-term point of view (Hofstede, et al., 2010). Meanwhile, the sixth dimension (indulgence versus restraint) was developed from the literature on "happiness research" (Hofstede, et al., 2010). These last two aspect are still not widely understood and are also not directly correlated to the topic of this study. Therefore, these dimension are excluded from the investigation. In addition, the first four Hofstede's taxonomy has been applied comprehensively in cross-cultural accounting research. According to Hofstede (1984), there is solid evidence that the four factors he proposes are universal, even though the original data they are based on were taken from the values scored by multinational corporation employees. Although the data can also be assumed to be up to date, according to Jones (2007, p. 7): …more research is needed to capture the shifting cultural maps which are influenced by, and influence, globalisation and technology, however this is difficult to achieve and may have temporal value. As a result the work of Hofstede will continue to have value now and into the future. This paper presents the conceptual framework based on the findings in the reviewed literature. In auditing, the influence of culture has been investigated widely in relation to audit and financial reporting judgments (Chan, et al., 2003; Haniffa & Cooke, 2002; Lin & Fraser, 2008), auditor independence (Agacer & Doupnik, 1991; Patel & Psaros, 2000; Stevenson, 2002), and ethical perception (Arnold, et al., 2007; Ge & Thomas, 2008; Smith & Hume, 2005). However, cultural research on particular aspects of audit quality perceptions has not been analysed closely, even though cultural values are likely to have a strong impact on perceptions of audit quality. Recognizing the effect of culture on perceived audit quality can make regulators aware of market expectation. As a result, they will be able to improve actual audit quality through the legal and accounting standards they set. In this study, the authors collect data from selected journal articles that mostly provide a comprehensive view of cultural values map and their impact on perceptions. Every journal has a different view. The author participates in comparing these sources of information to create a comprehensive framework. Thus, this study used content analysis both relationship analysis and conceptual analysis. The authors collect data from the theoretical concepts of cultural dimensions and relational relationships of that variable that influence audit quality. Key findings derived from the qualitative study confirmed that the differences in perceptions of the importance of audit quality factors in one country could be due to differences in cultural characteristics. For further consideration, it is necessary to develop a questionnaire instrument or a list of interview questions to measure each indicator of a framework that has been developed and tested as a reliable instrument. Keywords: culture; cultural values; perception; audit quality

Full textAbstract:
According to what Geert Hofstede stated in his study of cultural dimensions, the Mexican society it is characterized for having a relatively small desire to save for the future and wanting quick results; this type of disruption also occurs in most firms placed in Mexico. One way of effectively managing the companies and stopping them from falling into this kind of disorganization, is through the implementation of quality tools and quality management systems (QMS). Nonetheless, are the companies in the state of Puebla and its surroundings, using these methods to achieve a continuous improvement? Or are these methods being “implemented” to keep operating in the current market? The main objective of this paper is to show that the knowledge acquired during college by employees about QMS and QCT and their application in the industries located in the studied region, allows highlighting a contrast as indicated in the study of cultural dimensions.

The article considered the assessment of the sustainability of the export flow of Ukraine. It was determined that the markets of Slovakia, the Russian Federation, Germany, Poland and Lithuania possess longterm memory. Also, the main factors that affect the sustainability of export have been analyzed. Among cultural factors, a weak correlation was demonstrated by Long Term Orientation, Indulgence and Power Distance according to the Geert Hofstede method. At the same time, the cultural patterns according to the S. H. Schwartz method did not show a correlation with the long-term memory of product export. On the stability of the export flow, the role of the linguistic distance and the factor of the diaspora presence have been assessed. It was proved that the gravitational effect has the greatest impact on the stability of export; Power Distance, linguistic distance and the factor of the diaspora presence have the negligible impact as well.

Research has identified the tasks associated with effective patient-centered communication (PCC), but less is known about the contexts that can enable or hinder its implementation. This study explores East Slavic doctors’ perspectives and experiences of intercultural PCC with Western patients. Semi-structured interviews informed by the principles of PCC were carried out with 15 doctors from two private clinics in Ukraine. The interviews were analyzed both for content and themes, informed by the dimensions of culture approach developed by Geert Hofstede and co-authors. The findings suggest disparities between the Ukrainian doctors’ perspectives and experiences of PCC and those encountered in the West, with those of the former seeming to be influenced by socio-historical and educational barriers, and by dimensions of national culture in Ukraine. In conceptualizing PCC, the societal context needs to be taken into account, lest some important functions of medical communication be placed at risk.

Full textAbstract:
National culture has been overlooked in discussions related to research productivity and impact owing to individual, socio-political structure, and economic factors. This study shows the relationships between the dimensions of cultural value orientation of the nation and research performance indicators. More than 60 countries were included and Pearson correlation analysis was employed. The variables were taken from Geert Hofstede and Scimago Journal & Country Rank worksheets. This study found that (1) Individualism has significant correlations with the majority of the indicators; (2) Power distance and indulgence correlate with a country’s research impact in the form of citation per document; (3) Masculinity, long term orientation, and uncertainty avoidance do not correlate with the indicators. Owing to the fact that the national culture is relatively enduring, countries need to measure their elasticity of hopes and action plans in an effort to boost research productivity and impact, by integrating the national culture in the estimate.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a link between responsible leadership and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Luxembourg and also to determine Luxembourg’s specifics in the field of CSR. Design/methodology/approach This is a qualitative study. In total, 64 semi-structured interviews were conducted from January to August 2017 with four culturally different samples: Luxembourgers with Luxembourgish nationality, foreigners who reside in Luxembourg, cross-borderers and the rest of the world. Findings Responses from all four samples were similar on the one hand and quite contradictory on the other. Three groups were formed: euphoric respondents who said it is the authenticity of the leader and his modelling role in lived CSR; moderate respondents; critical respondents who deny any link between responsible leadership and CSR and claim for change and innovation, accusing the high Uncertainty Avoidance Index. In their opinion, there is an urgent need for managers to learn responsible leadership and CSR. Practical implications This paper contributes to the discussion on change and innovation in the field of leadership theory with particular emphasis on responsible leadership following Michael Maccoby, on multilingual and multicultural Luxembourg in the middle of Europe following Geert Hofstede and Edgar Schein and on CSR following Thomas Maak and Nicole Pless. Originality/value This study is a combination of research on responsible leadership and CSR in Luxembourg in connection with Hofstede’s cultural dimensions: high long-term orientation, high uncertainty avoidance and high collectivism (low individualism).

This research has two aims. The first one is to determine how and to what extent the national cultural characteristic of a country plays a role in her entrepreneurship success. The second one is to determine whether culture and economic development levels interact with each other on influencing entrepreneurship success. A consecutive five-year longitudinal study, covering 81 countries is conducted. Longitudinal Random Effect Regression Analysis is used to determine the effects of culture on entrepreneurship rates. Data regarding the cultural dimensions indexes of the countries is obtained from Geert Hofstede website and the entrepreneurship rates from the annual reports of the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute. The interaction effect of cultural dimensions and economic development levels on entrepreneurship is analyzed by treating the economic development level is the interacting variable between cultural dimensions and entrepreneurship rates. Economic development levels of the countries are measured by GDP per capita, figures obtained from the World Bank. The findings are that the cultural dimensions Individualism, Long Term Orientation, and Indulgence vs. Restraint influence the entrepreneurship rate in a supportive manner, whereas Masculinity’s impact is in a rendering manner. Other dimensions seem to have no significant effect. Although relevant cultural dimensions do interact with economic development levels, their interaction effects are small. This study has several unique contributions to the entrepreneurship literature, such as its longitudinal nature, using all Hofstede Dimensions, applying a very comprehensive entrepreneurship measurement scale, its huge sample size and containing an interactive analysis of culture and economic development level which is very rare in the literature.

Considering the present-day international context, with the increasing workforce mobility and the global exchange of knowledge and best practices, most companies expect their workers to be able to communicate effectively across cultures. Thus, since cross-cultural competence in today’s multicultural globalised world is an absolute prerequisite, we argue that students – as candidates in the global job market – need to acquire not only linguistic skills, but also cross-cultural competence. Consequently, drawing on a number of theories put forward by Melanie Moll (2012), Geert Hofstede (1980, 1991), E.T. Hall (1976), or Paul Verluyten (1999), this paper will look into the cultural frameworks that account for people’s behaviour, with a view to identify the students’ perception of the cultural issues likely to occur in cross-cultural encounters. More precisely, we will explore ways in which we can build and expand the students’ intercultural awareness and cross-cultural communicative competence, with a focus on the students enrolled at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, within the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, Romania.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – Moral reasoning research in Western cultures is grounded primarily in Kohlbergian cognitive moral theory. Enumerable investigations about the psychological determinants and cultural dimensions of moral reasoning have provided significant insights about Western decision making and contributed to Western organizational behavioral theory. However, inquiry about these same constructs and how they may interact with moral reasoning in non-Western Southeast Asian trading partner countries has not provided comparable insights. The purpose of this paper is to remedy that by comparing predominant cultural dimensions to levels of moral reasoning in student and graduate populations in Thailand and the USA. Design/methodology/approach – The Defining Issues Test (DIT) measurement of moral reasoning (Rest et al., 1999) and the Values Survey Module (VSM) 2013 (Hofstede and Minkov, 2013) were translated for the first time into Thai, pilot tested, and used to gather cultural and moral reasoning data in Thailand. The same English version instruments were used to gather comparable data among similarly matched US samples. Comparisons are presented in this paper, and differences in approaches to moral decision making are discussed. Findings – Findings indicate that there are both significant psychological and cultural differences between the two nations that affect moral reasoning. Predominant status quo moral reasoning predominates in Thailand, while a polarity between self-interest moral reasoning and higher level abstract idealistic moral reasoning predominates in the USA. Potential cultural influences on these moral reasoning tendencies are discussed. Research limitations/implications – While findings can be generalized to the sample populations of Thai and US undergraduate students and graduate students who are in the workplace, the considerable time required to complete the two survey instruments precluded inclusion of higher level, veteran managers and public policy administrators in the study. Alternative survey methods need to be developed for investigating these subjects in order to make the combined findings more robust and widely generalizable. Practical implications – Careful attention to cultural and linguistic variables provided for thorough and effective first-time translations of the DIT and the VSM 2013 from English into the Thai language. These two instruments are now available to other researchers who wish to investigate cultural dimensions and moral reasoning through other research designs. The Thai-version DIT can be obtained from the copyright holder, Center for the Study of Ethical Development (http://ethicaldevelopment.ua.edu/). The Thai-version of the VSM can be obtained through the Geert Hofstede website (www.geerthofstede.nl/). Social implications – These findings can help researchers in Western and non-Western countries to better understand the foundations upon which moral reasoning in the two countries is grounded, and can provide insights about how individuals in quite different cultures perceive ethical dilemmas in the workplace and public arena and attempt to solve them. The findings also serve as another entry point for business managers and public policy administrators to not only better understand organizational behavior as regards ethical decision making, but general decision making as well. Originality/value – This is the first research study comparing cultural dimensions identified by Geert Hofstede and Michael Minkov as measured by the VSM 2013 to moral reasoning as measured by the DIT.

Abstract The purpose of this essay is to present how Japanese eating habits have changed in the context of globalization. We start from the premise that eating is not merely about meeting a basic need, but about creating a relationship with nature. It can be regarded as a ritual practice because it reveals a culture and its people’s beliefs, values and mind-sets. As Geert Hofstede et al. note, life in Japan is highly ritualized and there are a lot of ceremonies (192). Starting from the idea that food consumption is based on rituals too, we intend to explain the relationship between eating habits and lifestyle change in contemporary Japan. Considering that the Japanese diet is based on whole or minimally processed foods, we ask ourselves how Western food habits ended up being adopted and adapted so quickly in the Japanese society. With this purpose in mind, we intend to describe some of the most important festivals and celebrations in Japan, focusing on the relationship between special occasions and food. In other words, we aim to explain the cultural significance of food and eating and to see if and how these habits have changed in time.

Kreativitas manusia dalam produk ciptaannya berkaitan erat dengan budaya, karena kebudayaan adalah sarana bersemainya cipta, rasa, dan karsa manusia. PT. Kalbe Farma, Tbk (Kalbe) melalui produk Mixagrip berusaha mengapresiasi kekayaan budaya di Tanah Air, mulai dari kegiatan kampanye “Mixagrip, Explore Budaya Indonesia”, dilanjutkan “Gowes Pesona Nusantara” dan “Mixagrip Cinta Budaya Sehat”. Seluruh kegiatan tersebut ditujukan kepada berbagai daerah di Indonesia, setidaknya terdapat sebelas kota disasar oleh berbagai kampanye tersebut. Selain itu, terpaan nasional diramaikan pula dengan kemunculan iklan versi “Keragaman Budaya Indonesia”. Keunikan iklan Mixagrip yang mengetengahkan Laudya Cynthia Bella sebagai brand ambassador ini, terletak pada upaya mengakomodasi berbagai budaya daerah nasional ke dalam sebuah iklan. Bersandar pada analogi enam dimensi kultural yang dicetuskan oleh Geert Hofstede, maka temuan penulis pada iklan Mixagrip tersebut dielaborasi dengan metode analisis konten kualitatif Phillip Mayring. Penelitian ini akan dipijakkan pada paradigma interpretif untuk menemukan tiga elemen utama analisis konten kualitatif Mayring, antara lain: abstraksi, eksplikasi, dan strukturasi. Ketiga tahapan ini diidentifikasi penulis sebagai nilai kemajemukan Indonesia, sekaligus mengimplementasikan semboyan nasional “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika”. Kepentingan bisnis yang umumnya disematkan melalui suatu produk iklan Television Video Comercial (TVC), seketika dialihkan kepada kepedulian akan toleransi kemajemukan budaya yang sedang ditumbuh kembangkan oleh pihak Mixagrip dalam konsep berbagi “kasih” dan bersikap “epoche”.
