CULTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SPAIN AND SLOVENIA

Obravnavamo temo mednarodnega sodelovanja in kako nanj vpliva kultura države. V svetu obstaja veliko različnih kultur. Posameznik, ki še ni imel možnosti obiska drugačne kulture, si verjetno ne zna predstavljati, kako deluje druga kultura in kako lahko obstaja drugačna od te, ki jo pozna. Ne zaveda se, da na drugi strani sveta (v drugih kulturah) stvari potekajo drugače. Če posameznik obiskuje novo kulturo brez predhodnega informiranja o njej, lahko doživlja fizično in čustveno nelagodje. Temu se da v veliki meri izogniti s predhodnim informiranjem o kulturi. Pridobljeno znanje mu pomaga pri razumevanju, vključevanju in sodelovanju z novo družbo drugačne kulture. V diplomskem seminarju smo preverjali razlike kultur dveh držav, Slovenije in Španije. Najprej smo skušali za vsako državo ugotoviti, kakšna je njihova vsakodnevna in poslovna kultura ter kako se ta področja med državama razlikujejo. Pravilno smo predvidevali, da je vsakodnevna kultura držav različna in zavrgli predvidevanje, da je poslovna kultura enaka. Nanjo namreč vpliva vsakodnevna kultura posamezne države. Prav tako smo dobili potrdilo, da informiranje o tuji kulturi, preden jo obiščemo, predstavlja prednost pri sodelovanju z njo.It considers a theme of international cooperation, and how the culture of the country affects it. In the world, there are a number of different cultures. An individual who has not had the opportunity to visit different cultures, probably can not imagine how the other culture functions and that there are different from the one that an individual knows. He does not realize that on the other side of the world (in other cultures) things work differently. If an individual is attending a new culture without the prior information about it, he or she can be experiencing physical and emotional discomfort. This can be largely avoided with prior information on the culture. The acquired knowledge can assist him or her in understanding, integration and cooperating with the new company, a different culture. In the graduate seminar, we examined the differences of cultures of two countries, Slovenia and Spain. We tried to find out first for each country what is their daily and business culture, and how these areas differ between countries. We correctly predicted that the daily culture of the countries are different, and rejected the presumption that the business culture is the same. Namely, it is affected by the daily culture of each country. We also got the confirmation that with prior information on the culture gives an advantage within the new culture
