THE TROMPENAARS’ SEVEN-DIMENSION CULTURAL MODEL AND CULTURAL ORIENTATIONS OF ROMANIAN STUDENTS IN MANAGEMENT

The objective of the research was to find out the ”natural” cultural attitudes – directly derived from the fundamental attitudes of Romanian culture – of students in management before their enrolment, using the Trompenaars’ and Hampden-Turner’s matrix centred on seven cultural dimensions, expressed as couples of opposing attitudinal dispositions. The results of the research seem to confirm the initial hypothesis, namely that the exposure to different aspects of education in a business university could alter the fundamental cultural orientation of people.
