Abstract
Deals with national culture and its impact on the culture of the organization. National culture can be defined as “the collective mental programming” of a society. The nature of national culture will have significant implications for the organization, its management and its human resource development within the prevailing local and environmental context. The taking of an ethnocentric or single‐nation‐oriented approach to other cultures is likely to be inappropriate. Organizations from one national background will need to make due allowance for the existence and relative influence of the different national cultures of the countries into which they enter as international or multinational operators.
