For this assignment, we will discuss business’ effects on indigenous aspiration and rights. This relates to the comparison of corporate and ambicultural governance practices. Additionally, Western philosophy tends to embrace individual achievement, independent action, and a controlling orientation. Eastern philosophies, influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism, espouse interdependence, balance, and harmony. Ambicultural approach to management combines the best of disparate cultures. Also, practising ambiculturalism requires disciplined focus, explosiveness, and proactivity. Ambicultural professionals must be open to new ways of thinking and have a capacity to transcend divisions by embracing ideas from various parts of the world. They, therefore, understand the values taught by both modern and indigenous business approaches.

BRIDGING THE CULTURAL CHASM
The idea of ambicultural governance practices is taking root. People are eager to find new ways to transition more easily between Eastern and Western norms, practices and expectations. For example, during job interviews, Asians consider the candidate’s competence and also learn about the “whole person.” This way, the ambicultural approach to management becomes more effective. Combining the better of the two cultures can help managers bridge the cultural chasm underlying them. Ambicultural leaders can see the wisdom and strength of other cultural and business paradigms. They also have a deeper understanding of their indigenous business approaches. Finally, companies can apply ambicultural integration to balance opposing organizational forces, such as innovation and tradition, flexibility and tight control.

They must adopt some of the indigenous business approaches as well. This includes respecting the differences between work cultures and seeking an understanding of how and why the differences exist. Ambicultural managers use the information gathered through observation to examine their work and management approaches. This way therefore, ambicultural governance practices help them to rise above differences.
