Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the

international marketplace. 『This system of learned behavior

patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is

constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion,

values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology,

education, and social institutions.』① To cope with this system,

an international manager needs both factual and interpretive

knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be

learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.

The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural

environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture—one

has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world

on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is

business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and

McDonalds. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however,

cultural differences are still far from converging.

The other school proposes that companies must tailor business

approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and

procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant;

the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The

major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that

rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness.

Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large

companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas.

The internationally successful companies all share an important

quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather

built their operations carefully by following the most basic

business principles. These principles are to know your adversary,

know your audience, and know your customer.
