Abstract: Abstract Globalisation has developed the requirement for superiors to manage worldwide organisations across cultures successfully. Comprehending and setting up proper organisational cultures for corporations are urgent tasks for international leaders and managers. This research attempts to explore the organisational culture in Vietnam and China in terms of task and relationship orientations. Since the total sample of 498 respondents including 276 respondents from Vietnam and 222 respondents from China, it confirms that Vietnamese respondents are more task-oriented and relationship-oriented than Chinese respondents. Gender and age are not a factor in either the relationship-oriented or task-oriented styles of both respondents. Practical implications, limitations and recommendations for further studies are included in this study.
