ABSTRACT
Intercultural competences such as intercultural sensitivity, recognizing cultural differences and misunderstandings and enter into a cultural dialogue, are the skills of a professional in the twenty-first century. The difference between successful and unsuccessful companies is the level of intercultural competences of the owners, leaders and all its employees. Knowledge of cultures, competences related to cultures and cultural differences make the difference in effectiveness and success of companies, teams and organisations. The speedometer is a simple instrument that measures the speed of the car in kilometres per hour and displays it on the dashboard of students car. In short, what we need is a measurement model that has defined certain factors that are present in each culture and that can be measured at the same time, so that we can describe differences and connections between cultures. The models of Hall and Kluckhohn provide a number of factors with which differences between cultures can be made visible.
