随着经济全球化步伐的加快,跨国企业在经营管理过程中势必会受到多元文化的
影响,企业内出现文化碰撞和冲突,而最终影响到企业战略发展目标的实现。因此,
有效的跨文化管理对企业的发展意义重大,甚至关系到跨国经营的生死存亡。构建何
种企业文化来跨越文化差异引起的障碍并提高企业竞争力,是跨国企业急需解决的问
题,所以开展企业跨文化管理的研究就显得极为重要。
鉴于此,笔者结合自己所处的扬子石化-巴斯夫有限责任公司(简称YB公司)的
实际案例,认为需要对其跨文化管理出现的问题进行研究,论述文化差异对公司管理
实践的影响并提出相应的管理策略。本文首先介绍了文化与跨文化相关理论,阐述了
研究的理论依据及研究框架。在对YB公司跨文化进行管理的环境条件下以及针对中
国与德国之间企业文化进行分析对比的基础之上,实施具体的案例分析和一系列的调
查问卷,运用定量和定性相结合的办法对YB公司跨文化管理中存在的问题进行了深
入探究。通过归纳分析,研究发现并证实中德双方员工在工作理念、价值观念、组织
沟通、管理模式、思维方式、培训及激励方式等方面存在明显差异。针对上述文化差
异,建议YB公司通过树立正确的跨文化进行管理的新型管理理念、对公司的人力资
源管理进行创新管理、建立健全公司内部的规章制度、对跨文化的差异进行强化培训、
实施高效文化沟通机制、类行本土化管理策略等方法提升跨文化管理技能,减少跨文
化冲突。
