Abstract
In the current situation of the global economy, engaging in strategic alliances depends upon several factors in which the national and organizational cultures of the companies are involved. This paper discusses the cultural differences between the German and the American culture by applying Hofstede's “value” dimension system and how these differences affect the formation of strategic alliances and outcomes. Furthermore, the paper examines whether literature sustains the fact that Hofstede's value model can be used to sufficiently distinguish between the German and the American culture.
