When European managers of differing cultural backgrounds meet, they often have considerable
difficulties when it comes to understanding one another. These cultural dissimilarities
have a decidedly negative influence on their ability to collaborate.. The factor
Culture can be especially disturbing when the acting persons are not aware of their
cultural dissimilarities. Since the differences between Europeans are not as obvious
as between Japanese and German businessmen, for example, people tend to neglect the
influence of Culture in business relations in Europe.
One innovative way of researching cultural differences is the Cultural Standard Method.
It is based on a qualitative research approach and provides a tool for identifying
cultural differences on a more subtle level. The purpose of this paper is to describe
the cultural standards method as a tool for the comparison of European business cultures
and to give examples of recent research results.
