Cultural implications on Business- Thailand and Australia, a comparison
People inherit a lot of things from society beside traits. These include beliefs, customs, traditions, religion and so on. In a word, this could be termed as the culture of that society. In this essay, we will be comparing the Thailand culture and Australian culture to understand the cultural implications of the two on businesses. In comparing these two, we shall look at the artefacts, values, beliefs and basic assumptions of the two cultures. These will be analysed with Ferraro’s cultural universals. We shall then discuss the implications of these differences in relation to business in these countries. 
Thailand Cultural Background
Thailand is situated in Southeast Asia and is also known as the Kingdom of Thailand. The country is divided into four large regions with 76 provinces. It comprises of people from ancient Thai, Chinese and Indian geographies forming a part of its vibrant culture. Due to the friendly topography that it enjoys along with the friendly nature of its people, it is often referred to as “Land of Thousand Smiles” (Chittithaworn, Islam, Keawchana, and Yusuf, 2011). 
Australian Cultural Background
Australia is a country located in Oceania and is termed as Commonwealth of Australia. It has a dominantly Western culture that is derived from Britain. It is also influenced by the culture of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The culture has been influenced by the World Wars as well as the constitutions, federalism and constitutionalism with Christianity dominating the cultural perception of the country (Ashkanasy, Trevor-Roberts, and Kennedy, 2000).
Ferraro’s cultural universals
Ferraro discussed how all cultures face some common problems and feature shared common features. These include, economic systems, marriage and family systems, education systems, social control systems and supernatural belief systems (Ferraro and Andreatta, 2014). When it comes to Thailand, the social structure majorly comprises of extended families living together or close by, sharing food and necessities. The younger individuals are expected to respect the elders. Marriage is considered a sacred duty and a religious event. Weddings are presided by monks. With regards to religion, Thailand is largely Buddhist. Religious leaders are revered and respected and supported by the government. The belief in supernatural is a part of the culture, with people creating miniature houses outside for spirits. The societal values are deeply influenced by religion and include having self-control, respect and non-confrontational attitude.
