Previous study shows that equity structure and cultural difference are important factors that influence the performance of joint ventures (JVs).

However, cultural difference is not the hindering factor to performance; in fact, heterogeneity has provided JVs better outcomes. Based on grouped data samples, it is believed that a higher ratio of Chinese equity in JVs will create better export performance. However, the relation between foreign equity and import orientation is not significant.
Strether loses track of the tourist's aims as he deviates from his own plans.2 Becoming involved in what initially appears alien to him, Strether also implicates others in perhaps unwanted relations as he moves not only beyond the position of the tourist but beyond the possibility of mapping his travels in terms of personal and cultural difference.

All telephony-based VUI users share the same knowledge about what happens during a telephone conversation. In effect, the nuts and bolts of telephone communications impose the same constraints on all who communicate by phone, regardless of their cultural backgrounds.
Kwame Anthony Appiah is among those contemporary professional philosophers who still share it, and he has made a particular effort with his considerable dialectical skills to untangle for a wide audience the conundrums of cultural difference and identity.
The Dutch Army followed with great interest the recent developments in the United States on the need to incorporate a higher level of cultural knowledge in pre-deployment training. Understanding cultural factors, how and why other groups act, and how they think, can only be assured if cultural training is part of intelligence education. Soldiers must see that awareness of cultural difference and basic respect for host-nation culture are crucial to force security and mission success.
