Training staff ready to work in the conditions of globalization, increasing the reputation of universities, is becoming increasingly important. We have analyzed the competence that will make individuals function effectively, to adapt, to engage and integrate into another culture on the one hand, to interact effectively with representatives of other cultures in the workplace on the other hand. It is Intercultural competence. Its importance, components and ways of its development are described in this paper.
Multilingvism si Interculturalitate in Contextul Globalizarii

The grids, comprising dimensions (specific cultural characteristics) in the most important cultural theories, such as Hofstede and GLOBE, help to understand the differences between cultures and solve intercultural problems. The article below contains a detailed description of the GLOBE 2020 project carried out in the Republic of Moldova: stages, research methodology, sample, proposed survey and problems related to questionnaire translation. This segment of the project is an integral part of the GLOBE (Global Leadership and Organizational Behaviour Effectiveness) that, during 20 years, focuses on the s...

In order to have a successful intercultural communication, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of a certain type of national culture, whose representatives come into contact. The model discussed in the present paper is the most popular one, that of Geert Hofstede with its 6 dimensions, and their values and contribution to communication in the Republic of Moldova.

The present paper is the "radiography" of the national culture in the Republic of Moldova according to Geert Hofstede theoretical model. Also, it identifies the variation and peculiarities of national culture dimensions: power distance index (PDI), individualism versus collectivism (IDV), uncertainty avoidance index (UAI), masculinity versus femininity (MAS), long term orientation versus short term normative orientation (LTO), indulgence versus restraint (IVR) in the countries of our study, Republic of Moldova and its main business partners: Romania, Russia, Ukraine, China and Germany.

Modern management is in a position to cope with the new conditions, namely interconnection to other economic, political, cultural aria, and changing the way of local thinking to the global one. In the following article we tried to create an overview of the development of the economic internationalization of the Moldovan enterprises. Internationalization is "a double-way road" where a flow is directed to the Republic of Moldova (e.g., direct money investments), while another, vice versa, from the Republic of Moldova to the outside world (international trade). Cultural dimension re-search would refer to the improvement of international business practices and behaviours used by foreign companies in the Republic of Moldova, as well as to Moldovan companies doing business outside of our country.

This is why studying cultural dimensions is very important in this context. Possible intercultural differences can be ameliorated through the getting of intercultural competences, and the intercultural formation considers the cultural positioning of the countries, according to different models. Main methodological approach of this paper represents the comparative research. Part of the information in the article includes the works of foreign and local researchers in the field of managerial theory and practice and scientific studies carried out in the Republic of Moldova and Romania. We used as the basis of our study the model of national culture differences of Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner. In the article the authors analyzed the cultural dimensions of the business students from Romania and the Republic of Moldova. The results...

The research focused on two cultural bipolar models: Hofstede, which comprises six cultural dimensions: individualism vs. collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity vs. femininity, long-term vs. short-term orientation, indulgence vs. restraint, and Trompenaars-Hampden-Turner, which contains seven dimensions: universalism vs. particularism, individualism vs. communitarianism, neutral vs. emotional, specific vs. diffuse, achievement vs. ascription, sequential time vs. synchronous time, internal vs. external control. The established similarities and differences, knowledge of cultural specificity in international interactions, both social and economic, is an added value for individuals to successfully integrate and fit into a society, other t...
