人类拥有不同的文化。东方文化和西方文化共同构筑成了一个多姿多彩的世界。文化差异是指不同国家的人们因为民族、种族、信仰和传统等方面的不同而存在的差异。文化从本质上讲都是平等的，我们不能说某一种文化优于其它文化。当前，一些从事国际贸易的商人日益发现自己身处于多元文化的环境。如果想在激烈的竞争中生存，企业必须制定并实施促进多元文化管理的战略。这将大大有助于消除因文化差异造成的误解和歧视，并促使管理者们以更宽广的文化价值观去激励员工。

Human beings have different cultures. Western culture and eastern culture make up a diversified world. Cultural diversity refers to the differences among people from different countries and of different races, ethnicity, beliefs, and traditions. All cultures are equal in essence. Therefore, it is not justifiable to say that one culture stands out from the rest as the best. At present, some international businessmen increasingly find themselves working in multicultural environments. In order to survive the intense competition, enterprises haave to establish and implement the strategies of strengthening cultural diversity, which will go a long way toward eliminating the misunderstanding and prejudice resulting from cultural differences and encouraging managers to motivate employees with a broader range of value systems.
