In this more and more internationalized world, many international companies have begun to integrate intercultural teams within their structure to fit the new demands. The way of communicating and work changed a lot and the interactions between France and Indochina evolved also, it is a real issue for two completely opposite cultures to work together. We will describe and analyze the differences and similarities between both and find solutions to make the interactions work, in professional situations. This dissertation aims to understand intercultural management through the example of interactions between Indochina and France. Various solutions can be used and we will analyze what can be done to improve some situations. The methodology in this paper is based on using literature reviews and a quantitative research, thanks to a survey, to receive other points of views and confirm the hypotheses. The questionnaire has been shared on the social medias and thanks to my personal and professional network I could receive enough valuable answers. This dissertation has been written in two parts, first the theoretical part describing what is intercultural management and the associated concepts, explaining the context of the subject. The second one is more practical, it is the analysis of the countries thanks to Geert Hofstede and the help of the dimensions he developed. The second part is also including the survey and analysis of the responses of the 73 participants to understand better what do they think about the case and find solutions for a smooth cooperation within the international teams.
