Question Corporate Culture Clash?

Over the past while through personal experience and conversations with friends and colleagues I have noticed that there is a definite increase in what could be called “culture clash” in the corporate world… specifically between Americans and Canadians/Europeans. Now don’t get me wrong people have always had different ways of doing things and complaints have always come of this… however it now seems that there is an underlying resentment on the parts of Canadians and Europeans within the American corporate culture… with the most common cited complaint being arrogance of the American corporate culture in dealing with either Canada or Europe, a general unwillingness to listen to advice or suggestions from the “natives” and instead dictating.

Now it stands to reason that I will really only hear a biased opinion... but even so I have heard roughly the same thing at some seminars dealing with corporate culture and teamwork, both from American and Canadian speakers.

Has anyone else heard or seen this in their corporate environment? Preferably someone else that works in an international or multinational corporation… Or would anyone like to refute this? I would be interested in hearing as many opinions on the issue as possible, as it seems to be the subject of conversation at both work and at my golf club.
