With the speed up of the globalization of economy and China's entry into WTO in the 21st century, Chinese market will attract more and more investment from abroad. To develop Joint Venture will benefit international cooperation and international exchange. China can get management experience, advanced techniques, excellent products and service through developing international cooperation.Joint Venture is not only the combination of the capital, products, techniques and service but also a combination of different culture and different management. Different country has different value, policy and management system due to different culture. Both Sino-foreign joint ventures and Chinese multinational corporations will confront with the problems of cross-culture management even culture conflict. Those culture differences and culture conflict will lead to negative effect to a Joint Venture company, such as low effectiveness problem, bad organization communication problem ect.. Therefore, how to solve the cross-culture management problems in a Joint Venture company is becoming more and more important topic.Internationalized talents are essential to gain competence in the international market, especially the core employees in a company. Due to an investigation, data shows that about 20% of the total employees create about 80% of the total profit. As we can see core employees hold the core competed capacity of a company. A rational cross-cultural management system is the key to manage and motivate internationalized talents. However, many companies' management systems don't work well due to ignorance of the cultural differences. Based on these facts, the thesis tries to work out a complete cross-cultural management system through thorough analyses of the relationship between culture and management.This paper studied the most foreign and Chinese scholars'Trans-culture theories and studied the meaning and implication of culture, including the definition of culture, the differences of culture, characteristics of culture and the four-dimension culture analysis frame of Geert Hofstede etc., which is the main research tool of this thesis. This paper also showed some dates about an investigation on about ten joint venture companies Trans-culture status. On which bases the paper put forward a 4PS Trans-culture analysis model to study the joint venture Trans-culture management issues. The three-dimensional Trans-culture analysis model consists of three dimensions: one is the four culture dimension comes from Geert Hofstede, power distance, individualism-collectivism, masculinity-femininity, and uncertainty avoidance; the second dimension is human resources management activities, position, promotion, payment and performance; the third dimension is the countries that core employees come from.Based on that three-dimensional Trans-culture analysis structure, the thesis studied 4PS activities in a joint venture company. They are recruitment activity, training activity, payment activity and assessment activity. The paper studied the process of Human Resources management and how cultural factors affect the management effect in the whole HRM process.The fast development and the actuality of Human Resource Management in Chinese Joint Venture need the managerial innovation. This paper is to meet the need by setting up a model of Trans-Culture Human Resource Management (TCHRM) based on system theory and the method of cross-culture management. By analyzing the effect on the HRM by the multi-culture environment, the paper describe three function of the model such as: effective Trans-culture communication,Common managerial institution, and Common corporation culture.The research of the subject attempts to quest a Trans-culture management model which can delete or remove the cultural difference and cultural conflict among core employees so that it may help Chinese Joint Venture company to make better use of the foreign capital which can modernize and internalize them, and it can be the reference for the"out-going"of the Chinese enterprises.
