Abstract

The paper starts from the assumption that organizational culture can be defined as the type of behavior, mainly considered in interactional terms, which is deemed acceptable by the employees (Hofstede 45). By analyzing frames, footing and their changes, the paper aims to compare the culture in two companies–a joint company (Romanian Belgium where English is used as the language of communication) and a Romanian one. The data used for the analysis come from two face-to-face meetings in these two companies.
