Zusammenfassung

Die gegenwärtige Forschung im internationalen und interkulturellen Management geht überwiegend von der Annahme aus, dass Kulturunterschiede Hemmnisse darstellen, die es zu verhindern, überwinden oder zumindest effektiv zu managen gilt. So werden unterschiedliche Phänomene wie das Scheitern von internationalen Allianzen und Unternehmenszusammenschlüssen (z. B. Cartwright und Schoenberg 2006), Fehlentscheidungen bei der Wahl der Markteintrittsstrategie (z. B. Harzing 2004), Anpassungsprobleme von Führungskräften bei Auslandseinsätzen (Black et al. 1991), Konflike und Kommunikationsprobleme in gemischtnationalen Arbeitsgruppen (z. B. Mannix und Neale 2005) und Schwierigkeiten beim grenzüberschreitenden Transfer von technischem Wissen und Management-Knowhow (Ambos und Ambos 2009) auf „Kulturbarrieren“ zurückgeführt, wobei meist davon ausgegangen wird, dass Unterschiede in Landeskulturen ein größeres Hindernis darstellen als Unterschiede in Unternehmenskulturen. Geert Hofstede, der wohl am häufigsten zitierte Experte auf dem Gebiet der interkulturellen Managementforschung, vertritt etwa die Ansicht: „Culture is more often a source of conflict than of synergy. Cultural differences are a nuisance at best and often a disaster.“ (www.geert-hofstede.com).
