Comment faire du commerce en France

Introduction As a group of three people from Turkey,Spain and France,we wanted to focus on the following four aspects/dimensions of cultures; ?Present,Past or Future Orientation ?Universalism vs particularism ?Short-Long term orientation ?Masculinity/Femininity Firstly, contents of each aspect is described by the respective cultures representative and then its conflicts and synergies are discussed in the end of each components description. ?Present,Past or Future Orientation Spain In Spain; people mainly think about the past and Spanish people waste more time speaking or thinking about the past instead of thinking about the future in order to change the things that do not work in the present. Turkey Turkish organizations are found to be significantly more future-oriented than the Turkish society at large. The reason for that might be due to the necessities of the task or higher education level. although the society is not future-oriented, still live in and driven by the past (like people still being proud of Ottoman Empire's war skills and success before its collapse, showing fanatism towards to national heroes and so on).We can also say that Turkish people are very proud of their past and history which makes them rather traditional because they are very attached to their values from the past and have a paternalistic culture but the leaders are expected to be visionaries and demonstrate future-orientation according to most the studies and researches applied in Turkish organizations. France French people are very attached to their history and their origins, they strongly believe in the great significance of their previous achievements. They live in the past and love the historical monuments that remind of the past glory (in Paris for example: Louvre, Versailles, Notre Dame Cathedral, fountains or in numerous villages, national heroes from the past like Jeanne d'Arc, etc.). The French live in harmony with their traditions, and the history and previous experiences are the most important base for making decisions. We also know that relating to the bygone times is a practice of growing more important with the age. France being a part of the so called"Old Continent" is considered a country which has one of the longest and most influential histories. Moreover, the French people are well known for their pessimism and their complaining about the present or the future. Conflicts&Synergies We can take the example of "the age of retirement" as the people nowadays have to work longer than the previous generation in all these three countries, or the fact of losing certain social benefits, as it is in the case of the "railway worker" ( in the past, a railway worker could only work until 50 years of age, due to the level of difficulty and physical engagement in the work done). The people of these days do not consider the fact that the economic situation changed, as well as the conditions of work. An average person now works until 65 years of age or longer, but they prefer to complain that the values from the past are lost.Taking this information into account, what can be said ...
