Abstract
This chapter equips the reader with concepts and theories for the resolution of intercultural situations. It presents three ways culture has been understood and studied in research and demonstrates their usefulness for solving global situations. The first is the positivist approach that compares and measures the impact of cultural dimensions on behaviour. The second is the interpretivist approach that provides explanation of how individuals see their cultural world and consequently act in it. The third is the critical perspective that approaches cultural differences foremost as the expression of power differences. The chapter shows, with the help of a case study that is progressively analyzed, that when used complementarily, these three approaches provide a rich and insightful conceptual framework for the analysis and efficient resolution of culture-related management situations.
