Professional Culture. Schein (1996) argues that in every organization you often find three different occupational (professional) cultures and these do not really understand each other and they often tend to have cross-purposes. These three common cultures are: operator culture, engineering culture and executive culture. Some of these are more universal and work also outside a specific organization like, for example, the engineering culture. The operator culture, on the other, hand is more specific and works more within a certain organization as a result of common experiences. Typical cross-border professional/occupational cultures also exist among accountants, for example (Schein, 1996). In our case we assume that the students-mentees involved in the cross-cultural internship programs will be influenced by their own home culture and some of them by both, their own and the professional (e.g. engineering) cultures.
