Abstract: In this paper we report implications of cultural adaptation of a Korean company in Slovakia. The importance of cultural adaptation has been enhanced as world economy has integrated. The Korean company opened up its production factory in Slovakia which consists of Korean expatriates and Slovakian employees. Faced with cultural differences, the company has pursuing several policies to resolve problems caused by the cross-culture environment. We suggest cultural adaptation at individual expatriates level and localization at corporate level as solutions to the cultural conflicts.
