UBUNTU


Acknowledge the fact that culture and behavior represent the diversification that cross-cultural manager has to deal, it is important analyze the different theories that give us a explanation of what are the main issues, that help us to understand the rational behavior of a determinate group of people, therefore ubuntu theories can help cross-cultural manager to prevent different kind of problems that can emerge inside a company due to the fact that this theories take into account many variables that can give an advantage in terms of a good relationship between employees but also with their bosses.



Then we can highlight on the main advantage of this theories, the assumption of the first step is the relationship with others, this is one of the most important issue because managers wants to keep the motivation of their employees high, he has to start to treat them with respect, in which they establish channels of reciprocity, helping to handle a good environment at the work place, the second relevant issue is the language and communication, as in the chapter of Academy of Management executive, building competitive advantage from ubuntu said “ communication is to the organization as blood is to the body, it is important to understand that if there no a good communication within a organization is too difficult to coordinate and establish, the good ideas and take decision that help to continue growth of the company and the third fact is belief system, represent the first step that give us a idea of the behavior of a person, then for cross-cultural managers understand the main traditions involves within their belief system can help them analyze and determine how the employees should b treat and which stuff of their traditions they can use in favor to management good their employees.


In conclusion cross-cultural managers shouldn´t base their decision not only on the workplace behavior, but also of what we cannot see and what defines the social attitudes, a slopes at the end is who determine the rational behavior of a person.
