Introduction Culture is defined as people’s ways of doing things in the organization. It refers to the values, mores, dexterities, practices, outlooks, and history of the people working in the organization. The above aspects affect the operations of the organization in a number of ways. In particular, it determines whether the organization would achieve its objectives or not. In this article, the above aspects are analyzed to establish how they affect the performance of projects (Larson, & Gray, 2011). In particular, three aspects are discussed in detail, including cross-cultural consideration, ethics, and the influence of international factors. The article talks about some of the opportunities and pitfalls presented by the three cultural factors. The last section of the article discusses some of the solutions that could be applied in resolving cultural problems experienced in organizations. Ethics Moral codes play an important role in project management because they offer both opportunities and pitfalls.

This is a disadvantage because the manager might not be aware of any mistake being committed by a junior officer. International Factors International factors play a critical role in determining the success of any project. International donors, who might be very strict on the deadlines and how finances are used, often fund projects. International factors influence the skills and knowledge selection.
