The move toward European integration entails significant adjustments in a firm's marketing strategy. Despite the dismantling of legislative barriers, cultural milieu of the various member nations will continue to be an obstacle toward true integration. This study clusters 17 European nations on Hofstede's (1980) cultural dimensions. Three distinct clusters emerge, each with its unique cultural composition. Scrutinizing the cultural make-up of each cluster offers the possibility of selecting an appropriate marketing mix across nations belonging to the same cluster.

Societies nowadays face the challenge of defining their identities when their cultural composition is more and more diverse. Old parameters which linked themselves to a definition based on a heritage of a tradition and a culture shared by a community is not viable today. Quebequois society nowadays, especially in the region of Montreal, has a profile constructed day by day due to people who have resided there for many generations, the newly arrived, and the shared experiences among them in work environment and public places. The particular case of the province of Quebec is quite revealing of the most characteristic traces of the cultural dynamics generated by the presence of ethnic groups of diverse origins that interact in the same space.

The culture of a place can be understood by analysing its architecture and vice versa. Each place has a unique culture and hence a unique architectural style. Vernacular architecture is a perfect example for displaying the culture of that place, as it is built based on the culture of that place. However, the culture of a place can be changed or altered when it comes in contact with another culture. The degree and dominance of one culture over another, purely depend on the sextent to which both the cultures have acculturated. Hence, vernacular architecture which is a reflection of culture also has a natural tendency to change and to accommodate changes and is flexible, adaptable and hence sustainable. There are many factors that lead to a cross-cultural composition like trade links, colonisation, and westernisation etc. among which colonisation plays a major role in the creation ofa new culture in the coastal stretch of India. Goa is one such perfect example where crosscultural miscegenation is seen due to Portuguese colonisation. This paper aims in understanding and evaluating the crosscultural amalgamation which is reflected in Indo-Portuguese houses through a study and analysis of four case examples in Goa using space syntax.

The most remarkable development in 20th-century music has been the gradual rise of transcultural music to status as the dominant activity of composers. Interaction between musics of various types within the same culture, and between cultures (including those separated from us in historical time), has been more important than the conventionally-recognized classifications of 20th-century musical activity such as expressionism, atonality, impressionism, neo-classicism (in its purist, Eurocentric stance), serialism, total serialism, chance, and minimalism (when it poses as an intellectual movement without cross-cultural referrents).
