Sumario: Today, a large number of organizations and companies are multicultural, not only because they operate in countries or environments where several cultures meet, but also because they are exposed to a wide variety of values and practices.

Hofstede sustains that, unlike national cultures, corporate cultures do not involve the question of sharing values but of having common practices. Thus, corporate practices must be analyzed in order to recognize diversity and to solve differences.
