Culture is a very complex subject e

Culture is a very complex subject encompassing a variety of aspects of everyday life including art, music, philosophy and customs. When discussing cross-cultural differences in a work context it is usual to talk about culture in terms of issues such as a groups belief systems, their everyday behaviour and their values; in other words, the issues that impact on their working style and working relationships. The group itself may be a specific ethnic or religious group or a particular nationality.

For the purposes of this document we will be discussing international differences, but many of the points raised will apply regardless of the type of cultural group you are referring to.

A point to bear in mind when reading through the following sections is that organisational culture plays a big part in determining how individuals behave within the workplace. The Cochrane Collaboration has a strong ethos and set of values that affect its culture. This culture, as well as national culture will influence what individuals within the Collaboration view as appropriate and inappropriate behaviour. As individuals tend to be attracted to organisations that reflect their own values, it is likely that most people within The Cochrane Collaboration will be able to relate to the organisations values. However, as noted in Section 4, cross-cultural difficulties can often arise as a result of individuals making assumptions regarding how similar other people are to them. Although there may be much commonality between members of the Collaboration you cannot assume that people have the same beliefs, values or priorities as you.

2. The benefits of international team working

Anecdotal and research evidence demonstrates that there are real benefits to groups of people from different cultural backgrounds working together. The specific nature of those benefits varies from one individual to the next, depending on personal circumstances and the organisation you work for. Within the context of The Cochrane Collaboration the benefits of international team working can be divided into three categories:

a. Benefits to you You may feel that you benefit in many more or different ways to the benefits outlined below. We have provided here some of the key benefits of international team working often cited by team members.
Increased knowledge - Working with people from different backgrounds exposes you to a wider variety of experiences and knowledge than you may have the opportunity to access in your home environment. It also helps you to keep up to date with healthcare issues and progress at an international level.
Broader skills Being part of an international team can greatly enhance your interpersonal skills and give you a broader perspective.
A valuable experience As more and more work teams cross national boundaries, having experience of working within an international context is becoming increasingly important. Experience of working as part of an international team within The Cochrane Collaboration may be very useful to you in future roles.

b. Benefits to The Cochrane Collaboration
One of the key principles of The Cochrane Collaboration is collaboration. Encouraging international team working helps the achievement of that principle. Some of the other benefits to the organisation are listed below. As you will note, many of these clearly link to The Cochrane Collaborations principles.
Common goal International communication within The Cochrane Collaboration helps to ensure that everyone remains focused on the same goals and objectives.
Keeping up to date Encouraging individuals to collaborate internationally, rather than working only within their home country, helps the Collaboration ensure that all of its members are sharing knowledge. Access to this wide range of information helps everyone to keep their work up to date and of high quality.
Benefit of others experience Communication between Cochrane members helps to avoid duplication and maximise economy of effort. Having people from different backgrounds working together on projects and reviewing each others work helps to minimise bias.
Greater creativity Research shows that heterogeneous groups are more creative than homogenous groups. Heterogeneous groups tend to consider issues from a broader range of perspectives than homogenous groups and so generate a wider range of ideas.
Continuous improvement Heterogeneous groups often question each other more than homogenous groups; frequent challenge of the status quo helps to ensure that opportunities for improvement are always considered.
Wider participation International team working enables those individuals working in countries where Cochrane Collaboration methodologies are new to get support and assistance to help them to promote the Collaboration. Without international team working it would be far more difficult to establish and sustain Cochrane Collaboration activity in these countries. International

Văn hóa là một chủ đề rất phức tạp, bao gồm một loạt các khía cạnh của cuộc sống hàng ngày, bao gồm nghệ thuật, âm nhạc, triết lý và phong tục. Khi thảo luận về nền văn hóa khác biệt trong một bối cảnh làm việc đó là bình thường để nói về nền văn hóa về các vấn đề như một nhóm các hệ thống niềm tin, hành vi hàng ngày của họ và giá trị của họ; nói cách khác, các vấn đề có tác động đến phong cách làm việc và các mối quan hệ làm việc của họ. Các nhóm chính nó có thể là nhóm sắc tộc hay tôn giáo cụ thể hoặc một quốc gia cụ thể. Cho các mục đích của tài liệu này chúng tôi sẽ thảo luận về sự khác biệt quốc tế, nhưng nhiều người trong số những điểm nêu ra sẽ áp dụng bất kể loại hình văn hóa Nhóm bạn đang đề cập đến.Một điểm cần ghi nhớ khi đọc thông qua các phần sau là văn hóa tổ chức đóng một phần lớn trong việc xác định cách cá nhân cư xử trong nơi làm việc. Cochrane hợp tác có ethos mạnh mẽ và bộ các giá trị có ảnh hưởng đến văn hóa của nó. Văn hóa này, cũng như văn hóa quốc gia sẽ ảnh hưởng đến cá nhân trong sự hợp tác xem như hành vi thích hợp và không phù hợp. Khi cá nhân có xu hướng để thu hút vào tổ chức phản ánh giá trị riêng của họ, nó có khả năng rằng hầu hết mọi người trong The Cochrane hợp tác sẽ có thể liên quan đến giá trị tổ chức. Tuy nhiên, như đã nêu trong phần 4, nền văn hóa khó khăn có thể phát sinh thường là kết quả của cá nhân làm cho các giả định liên quan đến cách tương tự như những người khác cho họ. Mặc dù có thể có nhiều sự tương đồng giữa các thành viên của sự hợp tác của bạn không thể giả định rằng những người có cùng niềm tin, giá trị hoặc ưu tiên như bạn.2. lợi ích của làm việc nhómBằng chứng giai thoại và nghiên cứu cho thấy rằng có những lợi ích thực tế cho các nhóm người từ nguồn gốc văn hóa khác nhau làm việc cùng nhau. Bản chất cụ thể của những lợi ích khác nhau từ một cá nhân để kế tiếp, tùy thuộc vào hoàn cảnh cá nhân và tổ chức làm việc cho. Trong bối cảnh các Cochrane hợp tác lợi ích nhóm làm việc có thể được chia thành ba loại:a.
