Abstract

Nowadays, as countries and economies are getting more integrated due to high numbers of exchanges, companies constantly need to deal with cultural differences. It represents an opportunity for these firms to aim for new markets and potential customers. However, organizations and their strategic management are facing a lack of non-domestic market knowledge.

This study aims to highlight critical cultural aspects an organization would need in order to properly formulate and implement an adequate international business strategy to penetrate a foreign and relatively unknown market. By analyzing a large amount of already existing academic productions on the cultural subject, and a face to face comparison between two culturally very different countries, France and the Kingdom of Thailand, a correlation between five independent cultural variables, respectively being the Organizational Culture, the Country’s Culture, the Consumer Culture the Cultural Diversity, and the Context of a Culture, and the way International Business Strategies are elaborated has been found.
The main goal of this study was to find a clear framework, a company could follow in order to not omit the crucial cultural variables, and gather a necessary amount of data, as to elaborate an adequate and tailored strategy. The study finishes with enlargement of the subject, and a thought about what cultures could look in the future.
