Plan: Introduction Defination of culture Classification of culture Flexibility in understanding cultural change Cultural complexity Tight and loose cultures Conclusion introduction

CONCLUSION

• To sum, as long as people of different nationalities work together, cultural issues will
• continue to arise. Ignoring cultural relevance (in business, at the workplace and indeed in
• research) is unlikely to diminish this entrenched and pervasive issue in the foreseeable
• future. The study of this complex phenomena that culture is, will continue to necessitate
• the development and use of cultural frameworks hypotheses. Thus, cultural typologies
• such as those discussed here are only beginning to receive the attention they so rightly deserve
