Abstract:

To assist global executives in better and more quickly ADAPTING to different cultures (avoiding culture
shock), this research paper reviews a cultural orientation framework designed to do just that.
Additionally, the model includes a cultural orientations indicator (COI), which is a self-reporting
evaluation instrument predicated upon extensive international and transcultural training experiences, as
well as international anthropological research conducted over many years. Based upon the work of noted
international researchers and authors, the COI provides a useful measure of personal cultural values
through a comprehensive analysis of ten major cultural orientations and sixteen related dimensions.
