Culture (Cultural factors influencing organizations ((General relationship…

- - - - For Griffin and Pustay (1999) values are the principles and patterns accepted by the
        members of a society
    - - Individualism vs collectivism
      - Stratification
      - Role of family in society
    - - attitudes are the actions, feelings and thoughts that are the
        outcome of those values
- - - - The use of material goods is another important
        form of cultural communication as per
        Hall (In: Rosenzweig, 1994).
        
        In Japanese companies, on the contrary, executives share their
        offices with other employees and the difference in salaries is smaller.
        
        The North American culture, for example, strongly values the
        acquisition and possession of material goods. The status of a person is measured by the
        clothes worn, the car driven, or the house owned.
    - - There are cultures which emphasize
        friendship as an important factor of relationship among people. In them we observe more
        lasting relationships, which require time to build and solidify.
    - - Hall (In: Rosenzweig, 1994) emphasizes the norms for social
        distance. The distance people keep between them when facing each other, reveals the degree
        of formality, intimacy or friendship.
    - - in some cultures the agreements
        have to be written and formalized, in others it is based in trust and confirmed with a
        handshake
    - - The time language, for example, is
        used in some countries as a linear thing, logical and reasonable. In other countries, the use of
        time is observed in a more flexible, fluid, non-linear and permissive form.
