Abstract

For companies, in a climate of increased international competition, it is important to anticipate the impact of culture on the economy. Indeed, cultures influence not only the individual behaviors but also and especially the designs of the company, the strategy, the right, finance and management. Within the new multicultural framework of economic globalization, a preparation for the cultural differences can prove to be paramount in the success of a mission, collaboration, a negotiation or an establishment. Better understanding the differences in civilization becomes a necessity to be located in increasingly multicultural societies and to optimize the relationship with foreign contacts.This is why since the beginning of the 90s; intercultural management has been an entirely separate management discipline which has been added to the strategy, finance and international marketing. To respond to these problems, one will evoke initially, the importance of culture within the managerial strategies and the basic principles of intercultural management. Then we will put forth the study of some countries in which the management techniques are different largely because of the impact of their culture (this through Chapter 2,3 and 4). Lastly, one will make a statement on the behavior that must be adopted by the manager to manage a team or during a negotiation involving foreign negotiators.
