Business Dictionary defines national culture as the set of norms, behaviors, beliefs and
customs that exist within the population of a sovereign nation. International companies develop
management and other practices in accordance with the national culture they are operating in.
organizational culture is established from guidelines practiced and learned within the
organization in which they are occupied. A person can adapt to the practices and expectations of
said organization, a person can be also influenced to follow the behaviors of leaders in an
organization. However, if these practices and leadership traits go against the values of their
national culture those practices and expectations will likely be undermined or ignored
completely. A person could be so deeply connected to their national culture that they may leave
the organization entirely.
Sport is watched and played globally and impacts business management practices in a
number of ways, including through sponsorship, recruitment, and manufacturing. In order to
compete globally, managers of sport organizations need to work proactively to build and
maintain an international presence (Ratten, 2011). When a U.S.-based sport business operates
in another country they must conduct themselves under the business law of the country in
which the business is being conducted. A way organizational and national cultures can overlap
is mutual practices. Punctuality and direct eye contact could overlap in certain countries.
While other countries in the middle east believe that being tardy is a sign of dominance and it
sets the tone of the business meeting.
Before a meeting of any magnitude with our foreign neighbors should be thoroughly

another company in another country could be looking for. Corporate culture never supersedes
national culture.
The idea that corporations should respect human rights and the environment should come
as no surprise. However, the use of corporate social responsibility (CSR) only started to be seen
in legal terms as recently as the 1990’s. Over the past decade, CSR has in some instances become
a mandatory corporate activity. CSR now means that many corporations now legally have to
comply with particular social disclosure legislation. CSR has become increasingly important to
sport organizations in bridging their business, political, and moral agendas (Ratten, 2011).
Corporate social responsibility is just now being utilized in a sports setting. CSR plays a
key role in overseas business operation because it allows for improved trust between stakeholder
participants in a region and better risk management of environmental safeguards. Knowing that
the country you are doing business with is following proper ethics and protocols ensures that the
people developing the product you want are treated fairly.
CSR can affect athletes in other countries and that, in turn, affects the bottom line.
Money. For example, if a foreign player is drafted in the NBA and not receiving adequate
medical attention or training with their national team, it may adversely affect if a player if
brought over to America to play professionally. Business relationship bridges could be burned
because the trust is no longer mutual between the parties.
