Organization Culture as a Factor Conditioning the Characteristics of the European Management
Abstract
In the presented article an attempt has been made to define the relations occurring between the organization culture and managing the European company.
The author treated culture as:
– an independent variable – characterizing intercultural research in the European management;
– a internal variable – deciding about the variability of European companies.
It is worth stressing that cultures differentiate companies and they represent characteristics that decide about their individuality. It seems that the evolving paradigm of the European management takes into consideration the cultural context of the environment in a particular way.
