Description of the research topic:

In the world of business, the cultural background of the participants and players of business activities, of companies and organizations is more often than not diverse and variant. This diversity in cultural background implies the probability of differences and varied preferences of the actors with various cultural backgrounds in their behaviour patterns in the course of their corporation and business activities which they also take as granted and hence to be followed. In several stages of the corporation and business procedures – both conceptual and operative ones – the surfacing of culturally biased aspects might significantly affect the cooperation and efficiency of activities in the multicultural context. In order to be able to effectively cooperate both in enterpreneurial and business activites with actors of diverse cultrual embeddedness, it is an imperative to extensively learn and understand various business cultures, to appraise the similarities and differences, and to become conscious of the
peculiarities of the particular cultures. In the field of decision making and management these specifics should be treated as significant challenges that require to be handled in proper manner. The profound internationalization of the business environment grants particular timeliness to this requirement due to the multiculturality of not only business partners, but of in-company and in-organization members of the staff. The ever intensifying participation of Hungary in international enterpreneurial and business activities necessitates an extensive study and understanding of the cultural characteristics of countries beyond the European cultural heritage and the infiltration of this knowledge into the enterpreneurial and business practice.

Research and learning outcomes:
• The PhD student can reliably identify characteristic differences in business cultures across regions and countries.
• The PhD learner has the ability to understand the driving forces behind diverse decision-making and management practices.
• The PhD graduate is able to identify best possible solutions for managing company policies to handle these issues for achieving business goals.
