How do you deal with business persons with different cultural backgrounds globally? Do you know the cost of failure of cross-cultural awareness and lack of cross-cultural competence? For example, the cost for the failure of cultural integration of Upjohn Pharmaceutical Company of USA to integrate the newly acquired company (in 1995), Pharmacia of Sweden was close to $1 Bn. It was almost $300 Million above expected costs. Despite such huge costs, the company disintegrated. And it vanished from the world market within a decade of the merger. No doubt, it happened because the UpJohn Managers failed to understand the impact of cultural differences and how to manage these differences.
