Sammendrag
We argue that the concepts "rules" and "relationships" are heavily affected by mindsets related to

language and culture. Western societies base laws and enforcement on the assumption on transparent,

universal rules, whereas East Asian societies rely more on relationship-based governance. Interviews

with 58 employees from a global construction company spanning Scandinavia, Germany, and China show

how evoking authority under uncertainty may exacerbate rather than solve failing co-operation.

Knowledge transfer and innovation are crucial to business operations and cross-cultural management

must find workable solutions. "Cultural ambassadors" are working on both sides to co-ordinate

communication and establish relationships.
