SUMMARY:INCOSE - The REUSE Company Presentation: Culture Engineering in S
 ystems Engineering Leadership: Measuring cultural variants.
LOCATION:Yokohama\, Japan
DESCRIPTION:Climate\, common history\, same language\, moral\, religion\,
  and other factors significantly influence the behavior of human groups\
 , giving rise to common patterns that dictate how individuals within a "
 group" should behave\, react\, or perceive various social aspects. Cultu
 re\, in this context\, can be seen as a set of behaviors\, customs\, val
 ues or even beliefs shared by a group of humans. The existence of differ
 ent cultures usually ends up in interaction problems (miss-understanding
 \, miss-judgements\, prejudices\, disaffection\, etc.) among individuals
  from different social groups. This study aims to address intercultural 
 communication problems by proposing simple scientific methods to compare
  cultures\, with the intention to provide Systems Engineering leaders me
 ans to overcome cultural problems in multinational teams. To achieve thi
 s goal\, an explicit framework was established for comparing cultural va
 riables\, enabling their representation in topological maps. By assignin
 g values to these variables for a predefined set of countries\, distance
  tables were created\, facilitating the comparison and analysis of cultu
 res\, revealing explicit trends. It is argued that comprehending the dif
 ferences between cultures is essential for resolving interaction problem
 s among individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. The study results
  in a scientific framework that explicitly presents these cultural diffe
 rences\, offering valuable insights for multi-cultural groups. The mappe
 d distribution of cultures indicates potential cultural flows from east 
 to west or west to east\, with the Mediterranean region serving as a foc
 al point. The study concludes with key insights and lessons learned.
