Culture: some definitions
• Culture is a concept that has many descriptions: e.g.,
national culture, regional culture, city culture, business
culture.
• Culture is the human-made part of the environment and
includes material culture and subjective (symbolic) culture.
• Both aspects of culture have important implications for
international marketing activities.

The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual
achievement regarded collectively.
The way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of a
particular group of people at a particular time
“Culture provides the overall framework wherein humans learn to
organize their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in relation to their
environment”
“Culture is a context phenomenon, a shared system of meanings.
Once a culture is formed, it is transmitted from generation to
generation through six agents: family, school, religion, media,
leadership, and the law”

behaviors and perceptions.

Subjective culture
• Subjective culture consists of ideas about what has worked
in the past and thus is worth transmitting to future
generations.
• Language and economic, educational, political, legal,
philosophical and religious systems are important elements
of subjective culture.
• Most important are unstated assumptions, standard
operating procedures, and habits of sampling information
from the environment.

Origins of culture
• Traditions and customs develop slowly and then become
slow to change.
• Two factors that influence the origins of culture are the
history and the geography of a nation or region.
• Geography: topography, climate, population density,

Learning objective #2
• What are the main models of cross-cultural differences and
how can they help managers when making international

Models of cross-cultural differences
• Hofstede (5 dimensions)
• GLOBE (9 dimensions of organizational and Societal
Culture)
• Schwartz
• These models group national cultures based on importance
of values

Values and Dimensions
• Values are strongly held concepts/beliefs that are pervasive
within a culture.
• The five main features of values that constitute the common
background for social science research about values are
concepts or beliefs about desirable end states or behaviors
that transcend specific situations, guide the selection or
evaluation of persons, behavior, and events, and are
ordered by relative importance.

Dimensions
• Cultural dimensions are ‘clusters’ of values that describe an
individual’s or a nation’s approach to a societal issues
• Dimensions can be used as ‘culture indicators’ but they are
not perfect descriptors of cultures

Time orientation
• Time perceptions and attitudes are important factors of
social order.
• People’s relationship with time is reflected in scheduling of
tasks or the value people place on time, or how they
evaluate past, present and future.
• Two time-related orientations are important for consume
behaviour: 1) task scheduling behaviour: monochornic
versus polychronic time orientation, and 2) temporal
orientations: past, present, future
23
![Page 24: International Marketing...The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. The way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042108/5e888a25b1ba0935e34ac8a2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Monochronic-time orientation
• In monochronic-time orientation cultures individuals
schedule only one task at a time.
• Time is a continuous line which can be divided into separate
‘blocks’
• Most Western countries follow this time orientation.
24
![Page 25: International Marketing...The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. The way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042108/5e888a25b1ba0935e34ac8a2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Polychronic-time orientation
• In polychronic-time orientation cultures, individuals
undertake multiple tasks at the same time.
• Time is a flexible resource in which multiple tasks can be
scheduled and performed at the same time.
• Schedules are flexible and may change if some tasks take
more time than initially scheduled.
25
![Page 26: International Marketing...The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. The way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042108/5e888a25b1ba0935e34ac8a2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Present-oriented cultures
• Time is a cyclical process in which future cannot be
controlled or predicted, and past will repeat itself in the
future. Planning for the future is not important and people
focus on the ‘here and now’. It is not important to plan for
retirement in present-oriented societies as the future cannot
be controlled.
• Consumers want to enjoy their purchases immediately (e.g.,
‘buy now and pay later’)
26
![Page 27: International Marketing...The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.

Future-oriented cultures
• People envisage and plan for their future, they prepare for
long-term.
• In such cultures, people plan for retirement, save money, or
delay gratification.
• US, UK, Germany

Past-oriented societies
• People appreciate the past.
• Such cultures value tradition, history and respect the elders.
• Older generations help young people to buy homes or pay
for education hence mortgages or loans are not as popular
as in future-oriented societies.
• Many European and Middle eastern cultures

consumption as the primary source of meaning in life.

Global consumer culture
• Global brands play crucial role in creating consumer culture;
marketing is partly responsible for the spread of global
consumer culture.
• Global brands distort competition, create unrealistic
consumer aspirations, contribute to serious health
problems, encourage irresponsible consumer behaviours
and are not good for the environment

Cultural distance
• Cultural distance is the degree to which cultural values,
norms and beliefs in one country are different from
those in another country.
• Cultural distance is usually measured by differences in
economic development, level of education, language,
cultural dimensions and other indicators of culture.
• One way of measuring cultural distance is to compare
countries’ scores on cultural dimensions
34

Psychic distance
• Psychic distance is the individual’s subjective perception of
the differences between the home country and the foreign
country.
• The perceptions of cultural distance between home market
and host market affect managers’ decisions in the process
of foreign market selection, or deciding what products and
services would work in a foreign market

Learning objective #3
• Why should a marketing team examine cultural imperatives,
cultural electives, and cultural exclusives when entering a
host country?
36
![Page 37: International Marketing...The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.

Cultural imperatives
• The customs and expectations that must be met and
conformed to or avoided if international business
relationships are to be successful.
• For instance, in Asian cultures, correcting someone in public
causes the person to lose “face,” which reflects a sense of
personal integrity, an important part of an individual’s social
identity

Cultural electives
• Areas of behavior, customs that cultural aliens may wish to,
but are not required to, conform to or participate in.
• The majority of culturally meaningful behaviors fit into this
category.
• Greeting someone with a kiss, eating certain foods, holding
hands or touching another person, engaging in gambling
activities, and drinking alcoholic beverages are cultural
electives that may be graciously declined or avoided.

Cultural exclusives
• Customs or behavior patterns reserved exclusively for the
locals and from which the foreigner is barred are cultural
exclusives.
• Marketers in a foreign country need to know when they are
dealing with a cultural exclusive.
• These often include religious ceremonies in which members
of any other religion would not be welcome or when
limitations are placed on activities for women.

Subcultures and Countercultures
• Subcultures are groups whose values and related
behaviors are distinct and set members off from the general
or dominant culture.
• Countercultures are groups whose values set their
members in opposition to the dominant culture.
Countercultures challenge the culture’s core values.
