The organization should also be structured so that it can manage diversity optimally. This objective can be achieved by assembling culturally diverse project teams. It should also be recognised that different cultures have different attitudes to structure some cultures value structure and find that it results in predictability. If the structure is threatened and rules and regulations not adhered to then conflict arises. Other cultures more readily accept changes in structure and in turn are more accepting of new ideas and people.
Different cultures use space differently.
In some countries an office is valued, in others all employees sit in an open plan environment. Respect of personal space is also important. In some cultures public kissing is appropriate whereas in other cultures touching the head is culturally inappropriate. Cultural norms dictate what the participants feel comfortable with. If something is out of the norm they feel threatened and confused and will not perceive the situation positively.
