“This map reflects the fact that a large number of basic values are closely correlated; they can be depicted in just two major dimensions of cross-cultural variation.”

“In China geht es nicht nur um Medaillen: Längst sind es die “politischen Spiele”, in denen Sieger und Verlierer nicht nur sportlich ausgemacht werden. Wird die freie Berichterstattung eingeschränkt oder behindert? ”

“According to Triandis’s model, a cross-cultural team becomes more cohesive if the extent and quality of contact between members of different nationalities increases: group members should feel encouraged to seek contact with each other. Clearly established goals are also a determinant of cohesion. Triandis’s model is built on fifteen hypotheses, the following of which are the most important for understanding the concept of perceived similarity:

• The greater the cultural distance, the less the perceived similarity
• Knowledge of the other culture may lead to greater perceived similarity, but also to greater dissimilarity
• The greater the language competency in the other person’s language, the greater the perceived similarity
• The greater the network overlap, the greater the perceived similarity
• The more equal status contact, the greater the perceived similarity
• The more common goals, the greater the perceived similarity
• The greater the perceived similarity and the opportunity for contact, the more rewards are experienced
• More rewards lead to more contacts and thus to more intimacy, leading to more perceived similarity”
