Abstract

The article presents the most popular concepts in intercultural management. So far, the majority of these concepts has focused on the study of differences arising from national foreign cultures and on the elimination of conflicts arising from these differences. A new perspective in the concept of intercultural management is looking at it through the prism of the positive values which create Positive Organizational Culture. This perspective assumes the Positive Organizational Potential. The last part is an attempt to describe the values which create a Positive Organizational Culture in the two culturally different countries: Japan and Poland.
