With the globalization of global economy and trade and China's accession to the World Trade Organization, how to know and understand the western management experience and theory, how to combine it with China's modernization, how to attract foreign investment and improve investment? Soft environment? And how multinational companies successfully engage in business activities in China, cross-cultural research has the following important functions and significance:

First of all, it helps us to effectively absorb western management theory and experience. The research shows that the cultural traditions of Japan and the United States are in sharp contrast, and it is difficult to achieve better results if both sides directly transplant each other's successful experience. Therefore, China's modernization can only combine its own cultural characteristics, and selectively absorb and digest foreign management theories and experiences. ?

Second, it is conducive to promoting reform and opening up and further improving the soft environment for investment. First of all, different values will lead to different management behaviors.

Third, it is conducive to eliminating organizational conflicts. For example, in American enterprises, a large number of migrant workers from different countries and different cultural traditions work together, and they have great differences in language, tradition, customs and religion, which leads to many differences in attitudes, behaviors and values between people, leading to misunderstandings and deviations in communication. Cross-cultural research is conducive to solving this conflict. ?

Fourth, it is beneficial for multinational companies to adapt to the local natural and human environment and further develop. For example, Dalian Sanyo Refrigeration Co., Ltd. combines Japanese advanced management system and technology with China traditional culture. Create endless progress? For the enterprise concept, establish? Pragmatic innovation and pursuit of Excellence? Enterprise spirit, dedication to green products, and creation of new life in 2 1 century.
