Abstract. This case study presents the transfer process of a mentoring program run successfully by a German company to its subsidiary in China with the aim of increasing the number of Chinese women in leadership roles. Drawing on the theoretical framework of the GLOBE study, this case study systematically investigates three key aspects: (1) which cultural dimensions might positively or negatively impact the transfer of the program, (2) how a “cultural transfer” can be implemented, and (3) which results the program yields after its pilot phase. The findings suggest that differences in collectivism and gender egalitarianism and similarities in high performance orientation can pose both risks and opportunities for the successful transfer. Strategies and organizational practices on how to leverage similarities while mitigating risks are developed, resulting in a program that reaches its objectives after its pilot phase.
