文化差异是外购的一个主要问题。如果外购对象是来自海外的国家，如印度，菲律宾等等，那么文化差异的可能性将非常高，因为交易双方的背景与价值观都很大不同。

一个消除文化差异影响的方法是确信你正确识别了交易双方容易在哪些方面不一致。在一篇文章中，Karine Schomer博士辨别出在每个外购过程中都会出现的五个文化差异的挑战。

外购的五个主要挑战
1、管理级别（分为top，middle，first-line三个级别，即高层决策，中层观测，一线项目负责人——译者注）
2、对约定与期限的态度
3、对协议以及双方义务的理解
4、结果导向还是过程导向
5、率真（例如意见不同的时候）（此处应当为省略，应当为“率真或曲折”，指双方说话是否绕弯子——译者注）

为了克服这些挑战，在外购中，对文化差异的理解，就如同尊重你的同事你的员工而不管他们来自哪里一样。

想更详细地了解这五个挑战，可以参考这篇文章：

Cultural
Differences is one of the major problems in outsourcing. When
outsourcing deals to offshoring destinations like India. Philippines,
and the like, the chances of having cultural difference is high due to
difference in backgrounds and values.

One of the ways to beat
culture difference is to make sure that you identify the different
aspects wherein most people do not seem to agree. In her article, Dr.
Karine Schomer identified the 5 different challenges that every
outsourcing deal has probably gone through in its duration.

5 Major Challenges in Outsourcing
a. Management Hierarchy
b. Attitude Regarding Appointments and Deadlines
c. Understanding of Agreements and Commitments
d. Results against Process Orientation
e. Directness (esp. during disagreements)

In
order to overcome such challenges, a sense of "cultural awareness"
should be observed in every outsourcing transaction as well as respect
towards colleagues and employees no matter where they came from.
