Abstract

International marketing relies heavily on the transition from the narrow perspective of economic analysis to the comprehensive one, which includes all the elements of the environment, among which culture is a special place. Cultural factors are essential in correctly explaining patterns of consumption and consumer behavior in different external markets. Culture, through its component elements and the independent way in which it operates, creates cultural values - which can be universal or specific to each culture. These include: material culture, language, religion, values and attitudes, habits, social organization, aesthetics, legislation, folklore, decorative art etc. The cultural environment exhibits the highest rigidity of the "change" factor, which is why the rule that guides the behavior of enterprises on foreign markets is an attempt to adapt and respect the cultural values specific to each foreign market.
