Nations create and develop their national culture based on numerous factors. National culture is what differentiates nations from each other. It represents a set of values, customs, beliefs, traditions, cultural heritage and other factors common to each individual nation. On the basis of national culture or the culture of a geographical area, differences between individual parts of the world can be traced. Multicultural differences arise due to geographical distance, different values, behavior, lifestyles, language, history and other characteristics of an area. In the modern global environment, they become significant in the business environment. The reason for this is the fact that more and more companies employ people from different parts of the world, which also affects the business climate in a multicultural environment. Intercultural management should be aimed at creating a business climate in which differences are accepted and a climate in which employees have a tolerant relationship with each other. Such an environment implies knowledge of different cultures and values in those cultures as well as supporting people who are culturally different. In the context of intercultural differences, this paper provides a comparative analysis of the national culture of France and Croatia. A comparative analysis was made using Hofstede's dimensions of culture. The hypotheses put forward in the paper are as follows: France and Croatia differ significantly in terms of living standards, and the national cultures of France and Croatia are quite different. The first hypothesis was confirmed, while the second was rejected.
