This trend of globalization means companies are going international and thus there is a need to understand international business in terms of country, culture, language, religion, custom and mind-sets of society. Different countries have different cultures. The differences in the culture are mainly influenced by values, attitudes, social structures, religion, and language. Companies without understanding the cultural dynamics can sometimes lead to workforce conflict, poor negotiation, unfit leadership styles, wrong strategy formation and implementation, and so on (Fullan, M.,2014). In order to overcome all these issues it is very important that the international manager of the company classifies cultures based on differences in influencing factors such as values, attitudes, social structures, religion, and the language (Wild & Wild, 2013). In doing so manager can use well known and globally accepted theories of cultural differences. The two initial theories of cross-cultural management are Kluckhohn & Strodtbeck’s framework and Geert Hofstede model.
