报告简介：

Cross-cultural differences and the intercultural aspects of collaboration have become increasingly prevalent over recent years, particularly in global economics and for the entrepreneur. Diversity of minds, habits, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds generates different patterns of manner impacting the behavior of the partners involved. Cross-cultural cooperation in a globalized economy provides advantages and obstacles. Most of the obstacles could be overcome if the partner’s acting, not only the acting of an individual, but the acting of companies, societies, states and countries bases on a firm set of values. Values, if lived, provide a kind of compass allowing considering the needs of others and finding approaches that serve mutual requirements. Balancing interest, either based on firm agreements or on mutual understanding and respect, requires openness, fairness, the will to exchange and consistency. Balancing interests of different parties form the foundation for economic development and finally also for the welfare of billions of people around the world. The inherent opportunities of the freedom to exchange are almost endless. Diversity should not be disregarded and contrary interests and objectives have to be considered - not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to review the partner’s respective positions on eye level. It is about recognizing and acknowledging given differences and to find ways for a mutual acquaintance ultimately serving common entitlements.
