Abstract

This paper presents a brief description of a survey designed to accomplish a cross-cultural exploratory study in three different countries (Brazil, France, and USA), aiming to point out the main perceptions of the managers regarding the decision-making process. 277 MBA students or managers answered. We present the first results obtained, illustrating that we do find differences, and we need to pay attention to cultural factors, especially now that every enterprise, every community is trying to be in touch and do some business anywhere.
