"However objective and uniform we try to make organisations, they will not have the same meaning for individuals from different cultures... A fellow employee from a different culture makes one interpretation of the meaning of an organisation while we make our own. Why? What can we learn from this alternative way of seeing things? Can we let that employee contribute in his or her own way?"

Fons Trompenaars

"If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place."

Margaret Mead
